jersey shore crab cakes
(1 RATING)
My grandmother made these from a recipe given to her by my great-great aunt. My father would go crabbing in the bay and his mom would have a steaming pot ready upon his return to cook the crab. My 5 brothers wives and children grew up on this recipe. Since Crab is expensive I have adapted to make it cost effective. Enjoy
