You buying crab meat for that, or in the shell?

just paves the way for
later recipes.

Looks delicious, I will have to try something other than the cornflakes, my wife has Celiak.

In checking ingredients of cornflake crumbs, what in it is bothersome? There isn't any wheat or gluten in it to speak of.
Just curious, as I know several people with Celiac disease and cook often for them.

thanks

I made these for a friends friends mom( she has Celiak)with gluten free corn flake crumbs and she loves them and has no issues with them and its her favorite request when I cooked for her. Also the crab meat is lump meat only no shell

First,
is it George? I dont want to get it wrong.
Second, my boss has traveled quite a lot and grew up on long island as a kid and used to blue crab in the summer during the run. He looks for crab cakes when he travels. He told me today at lunch, "Those were the best crab cakes I have ever had. The sauce made it even better." He was not joking around. They were a big hit and worth the effort to get the crab.
That is a very high compliment from a guy who knows a thing or two about crab.
Great recipe!

I had to bow out of this little soire due to a trip to Japan. Needless, to say that was canceled and I've tried all recipes to date. This will be my next. All have been most excellent btw!

Thanks for doing this Rob.

BYC, would you like to bow back in? We're going to 13 mos. for atvalaska (?) Completely voluntary, but I'll be there until the end! We've had great stuff. Onion Pie, beef tenderloin in salt crust, corn pancakes, and crab cakes... So far, it's all new to me, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

For this recipe, a couple people cried foul for the $$$. Should we make him put up an alternate (insert evil grin)? I've got lots of recipe cards! I figured the tenderloin flew in the beginning, this may as well, but do we want to ask for an alternate or do we have a license for creative substitution. I'm going to get the little blue tupperware container of crab meat down the Sam's club on Friday. I'm going to make them small and spread the love 6 ways so it'll be worth it here. My Mom makes cakes much like these with canned pink salmon. Salmon, hummmm? I wonder where there could be some of that laying around. Salt cod. That would be neat too.

If your corn flakes are sweetened with barley malt (Kelloggs is) there's gluten. We have Bob's Red Mill products in our markets and they have all kinds of gluten free products.

Do other brands have the barley? Thanks for the heads up.

According to the label, there isn't any barley.

I think it's "malt flavorings". I got the barley malt thing from a celiac nutrition guide website. Kelloggs said, and they quoted nothing they make is basically gluten free except for dairy products... They say rice crispees and the like even contain traces. I cooked for a guy at the American Legion who had celiac disease. He ate about a half dozen potatoes a day and drank white wine and rum. I made him gluten free pasta almost every Friday.

It's to speak off that is the problem. If she gets just a trace of gluten, she get a stomachache, and diarrhea.

I'm not crying foul, I don't have a problem trying this recipe. Going to get the crab this weekend, I say go for it and for the extension. This is a great idea!!

These are the gluten free crumbs I have used...

FYI. If you live near a restaurant that sells crab, ask the mgr / owner if you can purchase some from them for a little over cost. They are purchasing at bulk prices and are a whole lot cheaper than the local grocery store and usually better quality. I purchase a case of lump crab a week (12/1 lb cans) and yes it is expensive but it doesn't compare to Sam's. Even if they don't sell the item they may know a salesman that can get the product for you.

$$$$ once a month ain't to bad!...a pak of smoke's size chesse for the onion pie 12.00..beef tenderloin 30.00+ at sams...crab = 32'boat, motor,fuel,gear /crab pots etc..time off work =pricless

Thanks, I need to know these things. I wonder if a lot of it is in processing that they use the same equipment, like the nut thing.



Same with my friend. It's like the worst case of food poisoning on the planet.

That's it in a nutshell. no pun intended. Its cross contamination.
