1. Traditional Crabcakes are made with lump crab
meat, are fried in clarified butter, and served
warm. While this is a delicious way to serve
them, it is by no means the limit on what you
can do. You are really only limited by your own
creativity when it comes to preparing and
serving crab cakes.

2. Take the sauce for example Many times Crabcakes are served plain,
but if you want to change up the flavors, a great way to do that is with a
flavorful sauce served along with your crabcakes You can serve your
crabcakes with a nice Hollandaise sauce, or maybe even a citrus
mayonnaise If you prefer a more spicy flavor, go with a chipotle sauce
3. Feel like a taste of the orient? Try a teriyaki sauce or other Asian sauce
variation If you see a sauce recipe that you think might taste good, give it
a try You can even change up the flavor of the crabcake itself by
changing the ingredients a little Try adding some Cajun, southwest, or
Asian seasonings to the crabcake mixture before you cook it for a
different taste
4. Do not be afraid to experiment a little Another way to change up the
traditional crabcake is considering how it is served Rather than serving
just it plain, try serving your crabcakes on a sandwich
5. Try serving a couple of small crabcakes on a hoagy roll with lettuce,
tomato, and some diaper cake seasoned mayonnaise for a Crabcake
Poboy You could also serve it open-faced on a piece of French bread
topped with one of the sauces you created How about a crabcake
salad? Simply serve one of your crabcakes on a bed of mixed salad
greens with raspberry vinaigrette on the side
6. The point is, your crabcakes can be as traditional or as creative as you
want them to be The only thing that is limiting what you can do with the
crabcake is you Whether you serve them as a main dish, an appetizer,
or on a sandwich or salad, it all depends on how brave you feel with your
creativity
7. Have fun and change up the flavors from time to time Who knows, you
may come up with a new taste sensation
