Crab Cakes With Sauce

Here are a few tips and tricks to help you make the perfect crab cake:

  • Chill the mixture for at least 30 minutes before forming it into patties. This will help the patties hold their shape.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the patties from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. Cook the patties in batches if necessary.
  • Serve the crab cakes with tartar sauce or cocktail sauce for a classic flavor.
