5 Best Frozen Crab Cakes Made With 100% Real Crab Meat
Crab cakes are always a good idea: Perfect for an appetizer with a little dipping sauce, or a full meal with some french fries, whether spicy, savory, or sweet, crab cakes are endlessly versatile and delicious. When made with real crab, the outside is seasoned and crunchy and the inside should be sweet, tender, and flakey. There’s definitely a place for substitutes like surimi, but crab cakes aren’t it—you need the real thing. Here are five of the best frozen crab cakes made with 100% real crab meat, no imitation.
