Crab Cakes

These classic crab cakes are the perfect choice for a sophisticated yet simple high-protein meal. By using fresh jumbo lump crabmeat and minimal binders, the delicate, sweet flavour of the seafood remains the star of the show. The addition of a little mayonnaise and Worcestershire sauce provides a subtle savoury depth, while the butter-fried breadcrumbs create a light, golden crust that provides a satisfying crunch against the tender centre.

Ideal for a light lunch or an elegant starter, these patties are best served alongside a crisp green salad or traditional thick-cut chips. The bright acidity of fresh lemon wedges is essential to cut through the richness of the crab and butter. This reliable recipe is a fantastic way to enjoy a taste of the coast from the comfort of your own kitchen.
