Fried crab cakes are the perfect combination of a crispy crust and juicy, tender flesh with the subtle aroma and flavor of crab, perfectly complemented by roasted bell peppers and a blend of spices. Breadcrumbs and egg hold all the ingredients together, but to make the cakes easier to form and to prevent them from falling apart during frying, thoroughly chill the meat beforehand. Roll the formed cakes in panko breadcrumbs. Large and airy, the combination of these crumbs with the oil creates a perfectly crispy crust on the cakes during frying. Serve the cakes with lemon wedges or make delicious burgers with them.
