Virginia Crabcakes image

I love crabcakes and I especially like the fact that these are baked and not fried.From the R.S.V.P. section of a February 1986 issue of Bon Appetit. It was requested from the Scale o'de Whale, a seafood restaurant in Portsmouth, Virginia. This makes 8 first course or appetizer servings or 4 main course servings.
