Crab Cakes
A Delightful Treat From Back East
These flavorful crab cakes are a modern take on the traditional classic hailing from Chesapeake Bay. The freshness of green onion, celery and lemon mellows the heat contributed by Sriracha, jalapeno and green chili. This dish is unbeatable when served alongside a vibrant Sriracha lime aioli.
