Fisherman's Crab Cakes are made with Pacific Northwest local crab and shaped into generous patties that are pan-seared until golden. They come with an orange marmalade-style sauce that adds citrusy sweetness against the savory crab and a light crisp crust. Eating them, you get a contrast between the browned exterior and the tender, flaky crab inside, with the sauce giving each bite a bright finish. People who seek them out often emphasize that they taste strongly of crab rather than breading, and that the portion works well as a shared appetizer on the pier.
