Really Good Crabcakes

I don't like crab. I had one crabcake in a nice restaurant I didn't mind once. When I was wanting to try something new, I thought I'd try my hand at crabcakes... I figured if anyone could make crabcakes I actually enjoyed, it would be me. Read more I paired them with a cream of asparagus soup, and the slight lemon flavor and creaminess worked really well together. I wish I had some left over, as I wanted to try crabcakes benedict in the morning, but they all disappeared too fast. See less

- Form into cakes, set on a cookie sheet, preferably on wax paper or foil, and refrigerate for at least half an hour till they set a little bit.
