Drool-worthy Fried Crab Cakes
While there are many talented chefs out there, none can compare to my mom.
Growing up, dinner at the family table was a daily ritual. My mom cooked for our family of five most nights, with the occasional take-out treat. While many kids, myself included, would look forward to ordering out, no restaurant meal could ever compare to my mom’s home-cooked dishes.
Every evening, she would whip up something different, and I was lucky enough to grow up eating a variety of delicious meals. I remember the mouth-watering scents wafting up to my bedroom, followed by her familiar call, “Dinner is ready!” I’d rush downstairs to dive into whatever she had prepared. Her presentation was always so meticulous that it almost made me feel guilty cutting into the food.
My mom often uses her own recipes, and while I’ve tried to recreate them (down to the last ingredient and step), they’ve never quite turned out the same. They’re delicious, yes—but they’re just not the same. I’m convinced it’s all about her special touch.
Creating the Perfect Fried Crab Cake Recipe
One day, I got a craving for seafood and realized it had been far too long since I’d had crab cakes. My husband and I decided to get in the kitchen and come up with our own recipe. We both love cooking, so we were confident it would turn out great—and oh boy, were we right.
These crab cakes are packed with juicy lumps of crab meat and bursting with flavor. Whether you enjoy them as a snack or appetizer, or make them the main dish with a fresh salad or side of veggies, they’re sure to impress.
We combined some of my mom’s classic ingredients with suggestions from food blogs and added a few of our own touches. The best part? This recipe requires minimal ingredients, is simple to prepare, and the crab cakes are ready in no time.
Below is the recipe for our delicious fried crab cakes, which I served with baked zucchini. Feel free to enjoy them on their own or with a sauce like aioli, tartar, or remoulade.
