Those crab cakes look good, Richie!! You’re lucky to have access to fresh meat. That plate is pretty close to what my last meal would be.

I use a similar recipe. The only difference is using ritz crackers instead of panko crumbs.

I’ve tried white bread, saltines and regular breadcrumbs before and I liked the ritz better...I’m gonna try panko next time.

Richie I've been on vacation in Georgia visiting my daughter the last week or so. I'm glad I didn't miss this one. Boy that looks really good. I haven't had a good crab cake since we traveled down to Delaware for my daughters little league softball regionals. We stopped somewhere on the way home and had a few.

Point for sure.

Sorry about that Richie, I should have been more clear. My daughter is 28 years old now. So I haven't had a good crab cake since about 1992. My brain is still fuzzy from the long drive.

Chris
 
Yes Yes Yes MMM.Never thought about a mudbug cake,I usually eat them steamed spiced or breaded/fried/poboy.
Nice work Richie!
