So many delicious recipes for crab cakes and I’ve enjoyed them all, but if you are looking for a very simple recipe to make at home in 10-20 minutes ” will “ look no further. These bit sized crab cakes are very hard to resist, then having a delicious dipping sauce to have with them is the icing on the cake. You can also use this dipping sauce on your toss salad or a plate of veggies.

**Fresh crab, can crab or crab of choice will work great in this recipe.**

Back to these delicious crab cakes, they are not a lot of work or fuss and they are very quick to make, they also freezes nice. Place in a freezer bag flat and put a straw in the corner and release the air and seal.

Hi, Bonita, Q.I was wondering if it’s ok to add fried onions to the fish cakes???

  Hi Jan: Thank you for your message and yes it is totally ok to fry the onions first and then add them. This way it will be totally cooked and caramelized and it will be delicious for sure. Enjoy Bonita

I would like to know how you make your breadcrumbs. I heard you say stale bread, grated. What bread? Sliced store bought or whole loaf? grate it on a box grater? I have only made breadcrumbs from toasted bread and then just ripped it into small pieces but I prefer the Newfoundland kind but not sure how to go about it

  Hi Doreen: Thank you so much for your message and for visiting our website, the breadcrumbs I use is from a loaf of bread or sliced bread thats three or four days old and grated or you can put between your hands and crumble it yourself or just use the store bought toasted crumbles what ever works for you. This is a lovely recipe and so tasty, enjoy I hope this answers your question. 🙂 Bonita

Did you use mock crab or genuine crab?

  Hi Eric: Thank you for your message and for visiting our channel, you can use whatever you can find. but the best would be real crab meat. I used mock crab in this video because not in season and of course not available at that time. We make these little crab cakes all the time and they are delicious. Enjoy Bonita

If you can sell your games locally, you may be better off, because you can avoid the hassles
associated with online selling.

  Hi Alisha: We only have a online website to help people cook and bake and the recipe and food is not for sale. They are easy to follow recipes and if there is some ingredient you can’t have you can change to meet your dietary needs. Enjoy Bonita

Paragraph writing is also a fun, if you be familiar with afterward you can write otherwise it is complex to write.

  Hi Rubi: My favourite is to cook and bake, but owning a website of course you have to spend sometime freshening your pages and having content that makes sense. Paragraph writing is nice I thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts with us. 🙂 Have a lovely day Bonita

If you want a really good pesto recipe, check out the recipe on Not Enough Cinnamon. Marie has a whole blog full of fabulous recipes, and she is the one who taught me how to make my own peanut butter. And almond butter. Highly recommended.

Can you cut down on the amount of buffalo sauce in the recipe? Will it make it less spicy? My kids wouldn’t eat it the first time because it was too spicy.
- Bonita's Kitchen March 22, 2021 at 4:22 pm Reply
  
  Oh yes use only what you like and if you don’t like it don’t use it. But it is a lovely sauce if you like to make a small amount. Thank you for your message. 🙂 Bonita
