The best crab cakes ever!: I have to confess that the first time I ever ate a crab cake was during a recent trip to Washington with my mother.
Thanks to a local crab house, she became addicted to the best crab cakes I have ever tasted. We may not be able to recreate those particular crab cakes exactly but we are going to give it our best shot!
