I've been wanting to try more types of seafood, so I tried crab cakes this week. They were fantastic. I just wish crab wasn't so expensive. My recipe was 2 4-oz cans of crab meat, an egg, 1 Tbsp coconut flour, and (I think) 1/2 Tbsp Old Bay seasoning. I don't know what 'real' crab cakes are supposed to taste like, but these are definitely a keeper, especially if you're like me and you're trying to ease your way into something without a strong flavour. The only problem with them was that they were watery, and I assume I just didn't drain the crab meat well enough.

I love coconut flour in patties or meatballs of any kind. It helps hold the meat together, it absorb liquid and fat, it gives it an almost disturbing bread-like quality, and the coconut flavour is usually minimal. If in doubt, I add a little extra spices or onion.
