These crab cakes freeze great! Make and cook them, and then place on a sheet try to freeze individually. When frozen, remove from the sheet pan and place them flat in a ziplock bag, separated with parchment. To reheat simply enclose in foil and heat until warm in a 350F oven.

Parducci Small Lot Chardonnay
California
About $15
A creamy but not oaky chardonnay is a wonderful pairing with these yummy crab cakes. Made by a winery often called “Mendocino County’s first”, this wine is full of tropical fruit flavors, apples and vanilla. Affordable quality from California!
