Not actually crab, but still very good!
Zucchini "Crab" Cakes
2 1/2 cups grated zucchini
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup minced onion
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning TM
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying
Directions
1. In a large bowl, combine zucchini, egg, and butter or margarine. Stir in seasoned crumbs, minced onion, and seasoning. Mix well
2. Shape mixture into patties. Dredge in flour.
3. In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium high heat until hot. Fry patties in oil until golden brown on both sides
I have made these even healthier by using egg beaters and baking them until golden brown, omitting all the oil.

So funny, I just got done making some light crab cakes a few minutes ago...haven't tried them yet, but very close to my mom's recipe so they should be good!
1 lb crab meat
1/4 cup plain low fat yogurt
1 large egg
2/3 cup whole wheat seasoned bread crumbs
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
chopped onion
old bay seasoning
Mixed it all together and formed 8 patties. Per my calculations only around 100 calories per cake. I am freezing them for later, but plan to use a little spray oil and bake/broil them.0 -
Yummy!! Thank you!0

8oz crab
1 green onion, sliced thinly
1oz roasted red peppers, chopped finely
18 34 degrees multigrain wafers, crushed
1 egg
Lemon juice (yield from half a lemon)
Spices I used were paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, lemon peel, pepper)
Gently mix all ingredients together. Use 1/4 measuring cup to form cakes; cool in fridge for 1 hour. Spray with olive oil cooking spray. Cook in 400 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes. This made 8 1/4 cup sized cakes. Delicious!!!
