MOCK CRAB CAKES


Light on the budget and a pleasure to eat, mock crab cakes are a tastey treat. OK I just couldnt help myself, I had to go for the rhyme. They are really good. I dont know where the original idea came from but I got the recipe from my cousin. So glad she shared because we just love them. They are great as a side or put them on a bun and dress them up like a crab cake. They are delcious either way.

I make my own bay seasoning mix. If you make your own I suggest using a little less than the recipe calls for because it seems to be a bit more potent. Using Old Bay Seasoning really helps it along in the crab cake taste. Also, if you use plain bread crumbs please include a pinch of thyme, oregano and basil bcause this will also help the flavor along. You will not be disappointed with these!
