In this video I dive into the five things it takes to make great crab cakes. Why? Because most of the crab cakes we've ever had are pasty, have no discernible texture, and are more filler than crab. My recipe makes crab cakes into a craveable food that pays respect to one of the most delicious sea meats. Sea meat? It's fine. It's a thing.
