Crab cakes
Crab cakes feature sweet, delicate crabmeat with a rich, satisfying texture, typically enhanced with herbs, spices, and a crisp exterior from pan-frying. The ideal pairings balance this richness with either complementary creaminess or contrasting brightness and acidity, while respecting the subtle sweetness of the crab meat.
