At Abe & Louie's in Boca Raton, the Crab Cake is prepared with lump crab and served alongside red cabbage and a spicy mustard sauce for contrast.[13] The pairing of tangy cabbage and assertive mustard gives this crab cake a sharper profile than cream-based versions, highlighting the sweetness of the crab.[13] When ordered as part of a steakhouse meal, the crab cake arrives as a composed appetizer with a crisp exterior, moist interior, and a sauce that adds heat without overwhelming the seafood.[13]
