Aunt Patty's Crab Cakes

This recipe is all about the crab. Here in Maryland, we are blessed with blue crab. Although expensive, this meat is worth the cost. My beautiful wife’s first griddle performance earns her the title of GriddleMeThis Mom. Thanks again to Aunt Patty for sharing her awesome recipe.
