Faux Crab Cakes
I LOVE crab cakes, but don’t eat them due to the high levels of toxins. In the Bible, God told His people not to eat shellfish and crustaceans. He wasn’t trying to be difficult or mean. God made shellfish, crustaceans, and bottom fish to clean and filter the water they live in, eating them is like having the contents of your vacuum cleaner for dinner.
Enjoy this replacement that tastes like Crab Cakes. Top with a fruit chutney, dip in organic cocktail sauce or salsa and serve with a nice fresh salad.

- These cakes will be slightly thinner than the typical restaurant crab cakes.
- Put 1-2 Tablespoons Grape seed oil in cast iron skillet, medium heat. Dip out ¼ to 1/3 cup with a measuring cup and gently drop onto the skillet, drop it CLOSE to the skillet so you don’t splatter the oil.
