Hi Daff;
They sound lovely:-))
I think when you get something that works why change it:-))

I usually put lemon grass and ginger,lemon grass is really lovely with crab.

Hello Daff, although I have always eaten fish, dad was a vegetarian, so we had fish regularly, I now feel that with my very,very awkward digestive system, I ought to be brave and eat more fish, and more often, instead of meat, particularly red meat. So, I am trying to branch out past the 'fish in breadcrumbs' scenario, which is why I tried the Crab Cakes as a starter, instead of my usual Pate, which I use as a bench mark of the measure of the restaurant. If it does not measure up to my own, I can guarantee, that the rest of the meal will not be great.
However, the recipe that I got off the internet, uses both fresh crab meat, the type you get on the fish counter in shells, and prawns. Also included are potatoes, garlic and lime juice, then coated in breadcrumbs to fry. I am looking forward to making these, possibly at the weekend. Do you freeze yours, or do they not last long enough to freeze. OH does not eat fish, so I want to make some to eat and some to freeze.

lol Roxanne,,, breadcrumbs and potato...... I chop the potato, rather than mash it... sort of like a hash brown... then a bit of whisked egg to bind.. then fold in the seafood and vegetables.... roll each dollop in breadcrumbs... and into sizzling hot oil... I don't know if I am doing them correctly... it has just evolved over the years!! I do sometimes add a bit of spices or herbs to the egg... it mixes in ok, then... but I love the flavour of the fish to come through.

Love

Julia, I use the tins of crab meat... also add some chopped prawns and/or salmon flakes, lovely!! I have to say, I do a pretty mean *quick* version with left over veg... sort of, fishy bubble and squeak, lol Mmmmm yummy... I love seafood, I have to say!

Love

I had these recently in a restaurant as a starter, and enjoyed them very much, though I could have done with a slice of brown bread with it, as with prawn cocktail. So, I decided I would like to have these at home, making them more into a 'mains'. However, looking round M******s, S****burys, T***o, and M & S, can't find them to buy. We do not have an A**a or a W*******e near. I have now found a recipe on the internet from the Come Dine With Me, programme. But has anyone else been able to buy these, or has made them.
