KOSHER IMITATION CRAB CAKES

Kosher Imitation Crab Cakes image

I looked for good patty recipes using kosher fish and most recipes called for tuna or salmon which we were tired of. It was then I realized that the cheapest fish in the store, which we had not enjoyed fried or baked was perfect. Then I only had to tweek the various crab cake recipes for local and family taste and ease. My husband wolfs these down.
