Dungeness Crab Cakes with Cabbage Slaw

The Dungeness crab, which lives along the western shores of the United States, is prized for the particularly delicate, sweet flavor of its meat. If Dungeness crabmeat is unavailable, look for the meat of king crab or blue crab. If possible, always buy freshly cooked crabmeat for its superior taste.
