I love seafood for dinner. Whenever we go out to eat I usually end up ordering some type of seafood from scallops, crab cakes and shrimp to monkfish and cod but never salmon (thats a story for another day and a bad dinner prep from my hubby!)
As a special treat we make crab cakes at home. I have found that you can get a jar of claw crab meat from the food store for about $9.00. Each jar make 4 dinner size crab cakes. We usually pair ours with a salad but you can easily make these smaller as an appetizer portion too.
