Crab Kicker

    Since 1986, I have driven the scenic highways that connect tiny fishing villages along the Louisiana coast. I have met with shrimpers, crabbers, fishermen and their families. They shared their bounty. I learned from their ancestry.

    The French-speaking people of South Louisiana call the dish you are about to enjoy "boullets", meaning balls. Shrimp or Crab balls are most common. These Crab Cake Balls were inspired by Danny Duet and his wife Poppy who introduced me to this dish at their fishing camp near Galliano, Louisiana. Minced onion,  garlic, crab, celery, special seasonings and breadcrumbs hand rolled into a ball, make this a wonderful, yet simple appetizer or party food. Danny also taught me a local-French saying, "C'est bon touffee"- as good as it gets. I promise you these Crab Cake Balls and the fishing at Danny's camp are both "C'est bon touffee".
