Tabitha & Matt Compton grew up on the East Coast eating Atlantic blue crab. After setting roots in Oregon, Tabitha’s East Coast crab cake recipe evolved to highlight the flavors of the amazing West Coast Dungeness Crab (Old Bay seasoning is key for that East Coast flavor).

Crab cakes made with fresh-caught crab – buttery, savory, juicy morsels of joy – are prized by locals as our most decadent Northwest food. Tabitha is famous for her crab cake recipe and now you can enjoy them as well!

Ingredients

  • 4 slices of Bread

  • 1 dash paprika

Recently our family has been eating more of a keto lifestyle we sometimes add pork rinds as a replacement for the bread. If you do this, use less salt.
