Grilled Crab Cake Recipe

Europe has seen an influx of our beloved blue crabs, and there they are an invasive species, taking over habitat and ruining local seafood fishing areas. Blue crabs are one of America’s native creatures, and they are amazingly delicious. However, they still haven’t developed a taste for these wonderful creatures, which would be the trick to their demise in the area.

FAQ

Should crab cakes be fried or broiled?

Because the flavor of the crab does not have to compete with that of the cooking oil, broiling is one of the best ways to prepare cakes. All you need to do is brush the cakes with a little melted butter, if desired, and place them in a preheated broiler until nicely browned.

Is it better to fry or bake crab cakes?

You can either bake or fry these crab cakes, but I prefer baking because it’s simpler (no risk of them falling apart when you flip them) and because baking makes the crab cakes less likely to dry out (it’s easy to overcook the crab cakes when frying in a pan).

Can you cook crab meat on the grill?

The key here is maintaining the proper balance, as too little binder means your crab cakes will fall apart, but too much binder will give your crab cakes an unfavorable texture. While egg is a popular option, it alone is not enough to make crab cakes retain their shape. A starch binder is also required.
