With green peppers, onions, garlic and a few “secret” herbs and spices, this GULF COAST STYLE CRAB CAKE mix comes to life! The end result should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Fresh or pasteurized crab is definitely best but canned crab can also be used. The definite mark of a bad crab cake is too much filler and not enough crab…so be prepared to add lots of crab for the final destination.
