• Spread a thin layer of plain bread crumbs on your work surface.
• Form crab mixture into equal balls, approximately two inches in diameter.
• Place on crumbs, gently flatten the balls of crab mixture & round the edges. Form the cakes about one-half inch thick & three inches round.
• Refrigerate.
• In a sauté pan heat 2 tablespoons of oil.

FISH AND LOBSTER CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery and bell pepper and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Place the fish on top of the vegetables and add the cream, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover and simmer for 6 to 12 minutes (depending on the thickness of the cod), until the fish is just cooked. Set aside in the pan for 10 minutes, then flake the fish into large pieces with a fork.
• Put 2 cups of the panko in a large bowl. Add the cod mixture, including the cooking liquid, the dill, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon zest, eggs, lobster, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper and mix gently.
• Using a 2 1/4-inch ice cream scoop as a measure, shape the mixture into 14 (3-inch) fish cakes. Place the remaining 2 cups of panko on a plate and coat the cakes all over, patting the coating to adhere. Wipe the saute pan clean with a paper towel and heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and 2 tablespoons of oil in the pan over medium heat. Place 5 cakes in the pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side, until nicely browned on both sides. Transfer the cakes to a sheet pan and keep them warm in the oven for up to 15 minutes. Repeat, adding more butter and oil, until the entire mixture is cooked. Serve hot with the remoulade sauce.
• Remoulade Sauce: Place the mayonnaise, cornichons, mustard, vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse a few times until the cornichons are finely chopped (not pureed). Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

LOBSTER AND CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl combine all bread crumb mixture ingredients.
• Poach lobster in water with lemon, basil and sea salt. (Rule of thumb is 5 minutes per pound.) Remove lobster from water and chill in ice water. Remove meat and shell and dice meat. Lightly pick through crabmeat.
• Add crab and lobster to mixture and gently fold mixture until combines. Lightly press mixture down in bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Form the crab cakes in to 3-ounce portions about a silver dollar wide and 1 1/2 inches tall.
• To a large saute pan, add enough light olive oil to fill about 1/2 inch high. Bring to 350 degrees F and add crab cakes. Cook until golden brown on both sides.

MAINE LOBSTERBAKE

Steps:

• Rinse the clams well, then soak in fresh water for 30 minutes.
• Layer all ingredients in a seaweed wrap in this order: clams, potatoes, and onions next to each other on the bottom, then lobsters on top of them, then corn as the highest layer. Wrap very tightly with a double layer of foil making sure there are no holes in foil (essentially making a pressure cooker). Cover the foil pack with additional seaweed. Light a wood fire. Cook over fire for 30 minutes.
• Carefully open the foil wrap and take out the corn and lobsters so you can reach the potatoes and clams. Separate onto individual serving dishes. Serve with your favorite Garden Salad, Cornbread, and Blueberry Cake.
• Cornbread
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Grease 2 (12 by 18 by 1-inch) baking pans and warm in the oven while preparing the ingredients.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs and milk together. Then mix the egg/milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the vegetable oil and mix. Pour mixture into the hot baking pans and bake for 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Beat the egg whites; set aside. Mix the egg yolks with sugar, shortening, vanilla, and salt.
• In a separate bowl mix the 9 cups of flour and the baking powder. Mix the flour mixture with the egg mixture, slowly adding the milk. Fold in the egg whites. Flour the blueberries and then fold them into the cake batter. Butter and flour 2 (12 by 18 by 1-inch) baking pans. Pour the blueberry cake batter into the pans and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out dry and the cake springs back when touched firmly.

WEST INDIAN CURRIED CRAB AND LOBSTER CAKES

Steps:

• Combine everything in a mixing bowl except the crabmeat, lobster, and panko. Taste the mixture for seasoning. Gently fold in crabmeat and lobster, careful not to break up crabmeat too much. Fold in panko, adding enough so that the mixture is not too tight.
• Cook 1 crab cake and taste. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
• Form into 2 1/2-ounce cakes. Saute on both sides until golden brown.
