No. 3 : Clever Idea
My friends from the Eastern Shore of Maryland use back-fin or claw crabmeat in a recipe like this – it has a little stronger crab flavor. (They use the lump crabmeat for salads and crab cocktails.) No matter what crabmeat you choose , these crab cakes are super yummy!

Band of Roses Rosé

Its rosé season! That means the lighter fare of summer is perfect for a wine thats lighter in flavor, and simply juicy fruity delicious. From Washington State, Band of Roses Rose is a great example of Pacific Coast rosé that is crisp, dry and fruit forward, This type of wine is one of my favorite pairings with shellfish like this week’s crab cakes. Plus, the creamy lemony sauce matches well with the bright citrus and berry flavors of the wine. Cheers to rosé!
