Crabs and Other Seafood from The Northeast
Living in the Northeast, we love our seafood. We recently went to Maine – we’re from New York – and we had to get some crab cakes. It was wonderful! You haven’t tasted crab cakes until you get it from the source. When we got back home, we started to crave some crab cakes but we weren’t going to travel back to Maine.
So, we decided to look up a crab dish online. Now, that was hard. Many recipes were found to be difficult and they advised us to purchase a expensive crab. I think we’ll have to go back to Maine soon. Whether you are looking to serve crab cakes at your next dinner party or informal get-together, you can find many different crab cake recipes online. go to the search engine which you know and enter Crab Cake Recipe in the text field and you can choose the website from listing which you want to try.
Keep in mind that crab cakes are usually served as appetizers, but they do quite well as an informal entre, or as part of a larger dish. The tasty cakes make a delightful appetizer as long as they are served with a variety of flavorful sauces or dips. You can browse for suitable recipes online.If you like to prepare a recipe that’s little spicy, like a red pepper sauce, you can still do it.
If you don’t want to go by our receipes, you could use the old red mix and hearty tartar sauces. Crab soup: Ingredients 1/2 kg crab meat, cooked and flaked, cartilage removed 1-1/2 cup chicken stock 2 cups water 2-1/2 cups tomatoes, chopped 3/4 cup chopped celery 3/4 cup onion (chopped fine) 1 cup corn kernels 1 cup peas For Seasonings: 1 teaspoon seasoning (a dash paprika and celery) 1 bay leaf 1/4 tsp pepper 1 tsp lemon juice Method Put chicken stock, water, tomatoes, celery, onion, and seasonings in a vessel, and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 20-30 minutes. Add corn and peas. Simmer 10 minutes more (or till the corn is cooked). Add crab meat, simmer until heated through. Remove bay leaf. Serve hot.
