After the cakes have chilled, heat about 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, cooking a few of the cakes at a time, so not to crowd. Cook until golden brown on each side, turning only once.

There's a special way to tell when crabs are done cooking. Their shells will turn bright red when properly cooked.
Already cooked crab meat is widely available. Although it's often sold frozen, seek out fresh cooked crab meat for the best flavor and texture. In the months of September through April, during most crab fishing seasons is when the local fish markets often sell cooked whole crabs. Ask for them to be cleaned and cracked, or take them home crack them yourself and then remove the meat.
