Questions about Crab cake sandwich
How do you stop a crab cake sandwich going soggy?
Toast or griddle the cut sides of the bun, then spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or tartare sauce on it as a barrier. Add the hot crab cake just before serving, with lettuce between it and any juicy tomato or pickle.
How do you reheat a crab cake sandwich?
For the best texture, take the crab cake out of the bun and warm it in a lightly oiled frying pan over a medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side, until steaming hot throughout. Toast the bun separately and rebuild the sandwich.
What goes well in a crab cake sandwich?
Try a soft brioche roll with shredded lettuce, tomato and a little tartare sauce, or use lemon mayonnaise and a few slices of pickle. Keep strong flavours modest so they do not overwhelm the crab.
Can you make a crab cake sandwich with frozen crab cakes?
Yes: cook the crab cakes from frozen if the packet gives that option, following its timing, and make sure the centre is piping hot. If thawing first, defrost them in the fridge rather than on the worktop, then cook until hot throughout.

Refrigerate it promptly in a covered container and eat it within 1 day; keep salad and sauce separate if you are packing it ahead, to prevent the bread becoming soggy. Do not leave it at room temperature for more than 2 hours.

How does a crab cake sandwich compare with a salmon cake sandwich?
A salmon cake sandwich has 279 kcal per 100 g, compared with 231 kcal in a crab cake sandwich. Their protein is similar: 13.9 g per 100 g for salmon and 13 g for crab.
Can you eat a crab cake sandwich cold?
Yes, if the crab cake was fully cooked, chilled promptly and kept refrigerated; cold crab cakes work well with lettuce and tartare sauce. Do not eat one that has been left out for hours.
