Nothing grates my nerves more than a crab cake that has everything in it but crab. I can't tell you how many times I've ordered a crab cake at a restaurant and been disappointed when I'm served a bread cake instead. I want crab in my crab cakes, and not just a little lump meat here and there! This recipe for crab cakes is for those of us who love crab, and not the breading you find in most crab cake recipes. This is a gluten free crab cake recipe. I use vegan mayo instead of regular to reduce the fat, but feel free to use your brand of mayo.
