Which Crab Meat Should You Use
The first important thing you should know is which crab meat you should use. The best crab cake meals are made with fresh crab meat from a juicy crab. And we shouldn't even have to mention that you have to use real crab. There are many substitutes out there, but if you want to taste the perfection in a bite of crab cake, you need to use real crab. When it comes to using fresh crab meat or canned one, we recommend using fresh crab meat because of the superior taste. However, we are conscious that not everyone has access to fresh crab meat, and in that case, you can use canned. Just make sure you are using real crab meat. And of course, we have to mention which type of meat from a juicy crab you can use. It's best to use jumbo lump; it's even easy to find it canned if you opt for that version. And if you don't want to use canned crab meat, but you can't find a jumbo lump, you can substitute it for lump meat or fin meat. It's still juicy crab meat, and it will go perfectly in this recipe.The Essentials in a Crab Cake Recipe
