SunFlour crab cakes are meaty and mildly sweet with the right amount of seafood saltiness and a soft inside and crunchy exterior.
Perfect as an appetizer, an elegant brunch, or hearty lunch or dinner with your favorite sides or sauces.
Pictured above atop a kale slaw and the sauce is a blend of mayo-based tartar with Worcestershire sauce or ketchup. We sometimes skip the tartar and use mayo with horseradish for a bit of a kick.
Making crab cakes at home doesn’t have to be complicated and you can feel free to experiment with additions such as sautéed veggies, capers, or sriracha if you like it hot!
