This is T’s recipe. It’s a great go-to appy that is pretty quick to throw together. We think the fresh crab with the canned is a good combo. The canned is usually finer and helps bind the cakes. With fresh crab meat going for $39/pound, it also helps with the price. The sauce we serve it with is a cheater aioli. It changes every time. Just start with a little mayo and add a combo of fresh berries and/or berry jam. We’ve also done it with grape jelly and it was tasty. We almost always have these with T’s signature Caesar Salad which we’ll post soon. Enjoy.
