"Fresh" bread crumbs work too, or even crackers... I know of alot of people who use crushed Saltines on their crab cakes.

I like crushed Ritz or Club, but no Bread for me......
I hate the canned bread crumbs. Use a coffee grinder and grind up some good bread. Season with your fav's and you will be a very happy person.....
I love the large ones with hunks of blue crab, peppers, and a little egg to hold it together......with a lemon buerre blanc sauce please

Sure, it's not a cake...but, it's still a dish made from crab!

Tonight I had chicken breast marinated in a lemon juice/poppyseed concoction, lightly breaded and baked in a convection oven. Home made mashed potatoes, tossed salad ( 
) and raspberries. it was quite lovely.

Well, with the talk about soft-shelled crab, I actually went out for some Japanese food tonight.
I had some shioyaki flying fish, soft-shelled crab, a plate of tai sashimi, and some rice.
Goddamn, I love Japanese food.

I was gonna make sea bass provencal (sauce of tomatoes, capers, garlic, kalamata olives) with a side of couscous. But, the sea bass was skunky so we only ended up making the couscous

) and smelled like it just crawled out of Paris Hilton's gidge.

That must have been seriously foul. Had it not been for that comment, I would have been looking up a recipe for that.

Tacos tonight. I usually mix together my own ingredients with the store-bought taco seasoning to go into the ground beef. I like some chiptole powder, some sauteed onions, and diced jalapenos.
The biggest question for me with tacos is hard shell or soft? Tonight I'm going the soft flour tortilla route.

It was horrible, as expected. Now I am eating a peanut butter and relish sandwich. My Grandaddy taught me some great things.
