This is an awesome dish for a winter family gathering. The freshness of crab and the tenderness of fish give you hope for the spring is coming soon.
Making this crab cake with Mannarich's fish paste reduced the use of crab meat (thus the total cost of the dish) yet giving you fresh seafood favour with full original texture of crab cake.
