The quote was right about making resturant quality crab cakes. These were easy to make, tasted fabulous and the salsa was a great condiment. I ate the salsa by itself when the crab cakes were gone. I will be using the salsa recipe to couple with other dishes. Thank you.

Wow! I wish I could stop there but I can't. These crab cakes were delicious to say the least. While preparing them accidentally put too much cayenne pepper than called for which I thought was going to be a fatal error. Turns out it was the perfect offset for the sweet, tangy and very fresh salsa accompaniment which is also part of this recipe. If you are going healthy then opt to fry in olive oil versus the optional vegetable oil. For more vivid color, definitely go with yellow corn. I chose the white shoepeg canned corn because I like that type.....and the presentation from a color perspective was a little bland. I was attracted to this recipe because of the fresh ingredients and the use of black beans, cilantro, lime juice, onion etc. For those watching what you eat, this is a fantastic choice because it is 'high' in flavor and nutritional value. This recipe is going right into my collection and will be a mainstay when I entertain family and friends!
