Crab cakes

So I finally got the nerve up and made moms crab cake recipe today.....I have to say they were easy to make, but I did get a little teary eyed when working on them. Mainly when I was picking the crab meat.....whenever mom would make crab cakes, she and I would pick through the meat together. I kept thinking about all the time I helped her make these........miss you, mom!!!

Here is everything all ready to go......crab meat already picked through for shells

Ready to fry!!!!

mmm, all done!!

I cooked them in peanut oil and they had not even a tiny bit of greasy taste to them! They actually turned out really good!!! They don't taste as good as moms, obviously, but i'm really proud with how well they turned out!
