Labor Day Seafood Boil

    Imitation Crab Cakes 

Labor Day or any day is a great time for a seafood boil.  My seafood boil is a combination of  snow crabs, shrimp, imitation crab (pollack fish) and corn. I prepared potato salad, so I didn't include potatoes as most usually do. My Mom is allergic to some of the ingredients in the seafood boil, so potato salad and keeping some snow crabs naked was necessary. 

Their was a lot of imitation crab leftover, so I decided to make crab cakes with it. It was already season and I just had to add a few more ingredients. I made a mixture of eggs, mayonnaise and bread crumbs and folded the remaining imitation crab into the mixture. I rolled the mixture into separate cakes and baked them for 30 minutes at 375 degrees.  The results were delicious. I was worried about overcooking since they were cooked once, but like regular crab meat, so is it! This is a great option for anyone allergic to shellfish too.
