Crab cakes

You can buy ready prepared crab meat which is much easier to use and judge the weight. However, if you want to fiddle about getting the meat out of claws etc, then that is fine!

Chef's notes

The consistency of the crab cakes should be fairly firm, which is why the bread quantity is not specific. You need to get the mixture so that you can easily shape them without them falling apart.
