Helpful Tips

Always chill your crab cake mixture before baking or frying your cakes.
This helps blend the flavors to meld and helps to hold the mixture together making them easier to handle and mold to desired shape. It also plays a big role in the cooking process. It allows the outside of the crab cakes to get crispy, thus keeping the moisture inside the crab cake.
When cooking the crab cakes, it's best to only turn them over once. Let each side cook thoroughly, until golden brown, without constantly flipping them. This will help in avoiding the crab cakes to crumble and break apart. This will also help them brown nicer.
Alaskan King Crab and Dungeness Crab are both salty, naturally. You may want to taste and adjust the salt in a crab recipe accordingly.

Freezing Crab Cakes
You can freeze formed and uncooked crab cakes by single layering them on a baking sheet. After they have frozen, you can then place them in a freezer bag. Use wax paper in between the crab cakes. Thaw them in the refrigerator before cooking.
