Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes - Low Calorie RecipeRead more:
The crab cake recipe that follows is nutritious, low calorie and can be served as an appetizer, main dish or side dish. Besides being easy to prepared, low fat and nutritious, crab cake like most seafood is very exotic. For this recipe you can use fresh or canned crab meat. For the best tasting crab cakes I always use fresh crab. However if fresh crabs are not available I'll use canned crab. To be honest most people can't tell the difference. Ingredients
