Ingredients
- 450 gm Pacific West Blue Swimmer Crab meat
- 100g of breadcrumbs, fine
- 2 large eggs
- 6 spring onions, finely sliced
- 1 tbsp of light soy sauce
- 1 tsp Thai fish sauce
- 1 garlic clove, crushed

Instructions
For the crab cakes
Combine the crab meat in a bowl with the eggs, breadcrumbs, spring onions, fish and soy sauces, ginger, garlic and lime juice. Season to taste with a little salt and pepper. Divide the mix into 50g portions and shape into even-sized round cakes and lightly coat with flour. Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. When the pan has come to temperature, carefully arrange the crab cakes in the pan, making sure they don’t touch each other. Allow the cakes to cook for 3-4 minutes on each side so they are hot in the centre and golden-brown on the outside. Use a palette knife to transfer the crab cakes from the pan on to kitchen paper to drain off excess oil. Serve the crab cakes with a garnish of a few salad leaves dressed with a little olive oil and a squeeze of lime juice. Alternatively, serve with your house made chips.
For our crab cakes we use Pacific West’s Blue Swimmer Crab Meat. This has been fully cooked and chilled and ‘ready to go’.
