So I don't like tuna and therefore didn't try with Tuna. This one has shrimp in it already, but more crab. And I don't think Salmon would "lump"as well, I think it would be smooshier, but I do think it would taste as good with either salmon or tuna.

Would you happen to know the nutrition facts for the crab cakes?

You know I need to start calculating and posting those. It's so tedious to do it one ingredient at a time in MFP that I've been lazy about it.

No need then I just did it... and according to my calculations on MFP, each cake is equal to:

Calories: 209

Fat: 10.1

Sat fat: 2.3

Cholesterol: 119.1

Sodium: 428.2

Potassium: 44.7

Carbs: 13.3

Diet. Fiber: 0.8

Sugar: 0.8

Protein: 15.5

Please note, I did not take into account “salt and pepper”, and the result of the calculations will vary depending on the different brands you may use for certain ingredients.

I think it will but chop them as fine as you can. It should be fine. Enjoy and do let me know if you liked them

That sounds like so much fun! We're thinking of coming the weekend before thanksgiving actually. Need to get up to Yakima to see family. I'll let you know once plans firm up for sure

We all loved them but I think you have to puree the shrimp and veggies so they stay together since chopping wasn't fine enough but we ate them and loved them even the company didn't care that they didn't stay together they called it crab scramble. We will definitely will make again.

Seems like the shrimp is a little overboard. I think that the crab alone would be wonderful. I think I have some fake crab in the freezer may want to make a few of these beauties

The shrimp when puréed serves s a binder. Since there arennt bread crumbs, eggs, etc., you need something to hold it together.
