I’ve been watching the crabbers working the bays by our home almost every day since April 1st which is the opening day here in Maryland. We are just now getting to the end of our stock of crab cakes we mix and freeze in the Fall for Winter eating. Uncooked crab cakes freeze really well. After reading your recipe guess what I hankering for.😋

Sounds really good. But it’s not downloading to paprika. 🤷🏼♂️

[Donw]

If you are using a iOS device you need to tap the downloaded file once to unzip it. Then try importing the uncompressed file.

[Steve B]

Donw when I try to import the file it says it’s
Not recognized. Using IPhone.

[Carolyn]

That is odd, it worked on my iPad, but it is just as easy to open the article and download it directly into Paprika.

SheilaAnn Ok, enough. I just pulled out some frozen Dungeness crab for tomorrows dinner. I really need to get out of your head, this is getting ridiculous.

What?
No pig uterus or chicken feet toenails?

Zimmern is slipping...

[OC Sandy]

Now I want crab cakes.

[Carolyn]

I always want crab cakes. It is one of my favorite things to eat, and I rarely get to.

[Donw]

Steve B When you download the recipe file your iPhone compresses it and it gets an extension of .gz. You then need to open Files and find the recipe. Then tap on the file with the .gz extension and it will uncompress it and create another file with the proper Paprika extension. That is the one to import. In the screenshot below you will see some examples for Chicken Pot Pie and a few others. Until you click on the file with the .gz you will not see the newly created file with the same name but a new extension and the icon will show the Paprika image. Hope this helps.

Donw thank you for this.

[Steve B]

Tried this Don. Keeps saying file not recognized. However, I was able to download it from the website. So, I got it.

SheilaAnn I just linked to Andrew's recipe and his shows saltine crackers, while your info shows panko breadcrumbs. Did you find the panko works better than the saltines? I have panko on hand but I can also get saltines. Opinion?

[SheilaAnn]

OC Sandy I may have subbed panko the first time and then stuck with it. I always have panko on hand. Mostly because when I have milk bread that is fixin to turn, I dry it and grind it up.

[Carolyn]

Been there, crab cakes that are mostly bread, and you can't see the crab in it. ☹️

[SheilaAnn]

And may I also add, that I eyeball the panko…. Just enough to coat. It’s a little different with the ground salmon as opposed to lump crab.
