One of the advantages of having a recent college grad son living at home looking for a job, is that I have opportunities to make things that I normally wouldn’t think to whip up on an average day. For instance… midweek Crab Cakes with Remoulade Sauce at two-o’clock in the afternoon. Really? Who does that? Now of course I’m not one that needs much encouragement. A mere suggestion will send me rattling around in the cupboards and pantry ready to cook the next meal… so with a simple thought in my head about how much Brian loves crab cakes… I was off and running. These particular crab cakes are truly the best I’ve had…anywhere. Feel free to switch up the sauce to whatever you prefer, but this time I napped them with this amazing Remoulade. Brian was a happy customer and the problem only came in as he was eating them when he suggested that perhaps the job-seeking thing is overrated and maybe he should banish the idea and remain at home. I realize he was under-the-influence of his tastebuds at the time, but do tread carefully at serving time!
| Crab Cakes
1 pound crabmeat, picked free of shells In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients, except for the flour and peanut oil. Shape into patties and dust with flour. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, carefully place crab cakes, in batches, in pan and fry until browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip crab cakes and fry on other side until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Serve warm with preferred sauce. |

Midweek crabcakes00I like it! Your son is a lucky guy (but my wife has been know to behave the same way when our grad son is home). Ken
*lol*….oh to be a mother! I guess we just wouldn’t have it any other way. 🙂
Wow these sound good. I’ve had crab cakes before but never attempted to try to make them. I will now. Thank you for the awesome recipe.
Hi Maggie, yes you should try them. Great recipe and very simple to throw together! Thanks for the comment. 🙂
I’m not a huge fan of seafood, but this looks delicious!
Thanks so much (I’ll let you off the hook this time!). 🙂

I hope you give them try. So easy to throw together and this recipe is fantastic! Thanks for stopping by!
I love crab cakes with remoulade. I haven’t made crab cakes in such along time, now I want them.
They’re so easy to make, too. I’m not sure why I don’t make them more often either!
This isn’t helping at all, Julie! I already had my dinner, and now I’m looking at your post and wanting crab cakes. And I don’t think I can just forget it! 🙂
Haha… thanks!
Your crab cakes look wonderful! Looks perfect for a weekend lunch (or on a weekday at 2 pm 😉
Thank you so much. Haha… we thought so!
Thanks! They’re so simple to make and always a hit around here. I usually make them smaller, but we super-sized them this time! 🙂
Ha! Great post and your crab cakes do look incredible.
