While
down on the Outer Banks we went out to dinner at Mike Dianna's
Grillroom in Corolla. The meal ranged from excellent to fair with the
crab cakes an the excellent end of the spectrum. Great crab cakes are
simple: they are made with fresh crab meat, cooked fast and served hot
right off the stove or out from the broiler. Those are the keys.
Simple, fresh, fast, hot. The more junk you add to them, the colder
they get, the further from perfection they stray. Here are two
great recipes:
Dean and Deluca Crab Cakes - Heavy on the crab meat, this
recipe features no bread crumbs or crackers.
Pam
Anderson's Perfect Crabcakes - Saltine crackers for the
breading plus green onions make this recipe a winner
