enJoie: Living, Joy and in Style

My youngest daughter, Nicole, loves these crabcakes.  She requests them at least once a month.  What I like most about them is that they can be baked in the oven and don't require frying.  Although for a really decadent treat, they can be pan-fried in a mixture of butter and vegetable oil.

This recipe was given to me verbally by my grandmother whom we affectionately called "Dear,"  short for "Mother Dear." She did not give exact proportions for the ingredients, but over time I have consulted with other family members and tinkered with the measurements to come up with this version, which I think does Dear's recipe justice. The seafood in this dish makes it a bit of a splurge, but it's worth it.
