    Very easy and delicious, I use a combination of fresh and tinned crab meat to save money.

    Really enjoyed these. Used just tinned white meat and it worked well - very easy to make and the fennel remoulade was delicious. Was quite rich though so would maybe use half fat mayonnaise next time.

    These were only ok, I too made them with tinned crab & if I was to do them again I would add some fresh chilli or ginger to the crab cakes to bring a little more flavour. I also thought that the remoulade had a bit too much mustard in which overshadowed the lovely flavour of fennel. I also didn't use mayonnaise in the remoulade as I thought it would be too cloying so used half fromage frais & half greek yoghurt.
