I didn't see this. What OS said.

I don't even know if you can buy it frozen, I know I wouldn't.

I open up a bag of potato chips, sprinkle in Old Bay and then close it up and shake it.

In Baltimore area you can buy them with the Old Bay baked in. Called Crab Chips.

Just made some crab cakes and liked them. I am a decent cook, so I think I can make some improvements. Haven't tried Jack's recipe yet, but I might tomorrow.

BTW: The two grocer's I checked out here had crab meat in the cold section....sold in a fucking can. It worked, but fuck, $15.99 for 16oz in a can from China?

With this oil spill, I guess it'll be like that around here now, too.

Gary, I catch it on sale around here and never paid over $9.99....you get 4 LARGE crab cakes out of it:scared

Give me a shout if you want any tips with adjustments as I have learned with trial and error

and I have some fear on what Cie says could be true:scared

You're not getting this for $9.99 anywhere and this is what you're supposed to be using.

I doubt you can get claw meat for $9.99

This is weird - I guess I had a dream that I posted something in this thread and I went back just now to find a response to it and my post was gone?!?!?

Weird -


Anyway - my question is - better to broil than pan fry?

Geez, I didnt say that, but don't know how you can get LUMP for that price. Never heard of such a thing. Not even in Baltimore. :shrug:

 

[MadJack]

I know....you are getting less than a pound for the $9.99. gotta be it.....driving me crazy.

Jack: I like your recipe better than the one I used last night, but I doctored it up a bit. I added a little onion and put the Worcestershire sauce in the mix. Oh, and I pan fried again. Good stuff. This will be in the rotation.

Good shit.

I can't make them per the recipe but my wife can. :shrug:

Anyway, Andy, I got hungry for crabcakes and went to samsclub tonight and got 2 cans for $34.48 and it's still not the quality of the lump pic I posted above. It's more like this. If you're getting lump backfin for $9.99 that's one hellava deal.

 

[MadJack]

Put a few drops of worchestershire on the finished product :0008
then tartar sauce and on a nice soft roll :0074

Did I mention I used claw meat?:00x31




Got a can of the lump backfin on deck.

I used worcestershire on one, and it was okay. Didn't have tartar sauce, so I ate them dry but loved them nonetheless.

Made some delicious Crab Cakes tonight.

Followed your recipe, Jack.

I made my own r?moulade sauce - what a great dinner for two!

Used extra Old Bay just before I put them in the fridge and added a little Worcestershire when they came out of the oven.

Broiled them 5 min. each side like you said - Came out perfect!
