What it is
This product offers a convenient combination of two popular seafood appetizers. It features small, bite-sized crab cakes, known for their rich crab flavor and tender texture.

Both components are pre-portioned and ready for quick preparation, making them ideal for entertaining or a simple, elegant meal addition.

To prepare, simply place the frozen crab cakes and bacon-wrapped scallops on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven until they are heated through and the bacon is crisp. The crab cakes should be golden brown, and the scallops should be cooked to a tender, opaque finish. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure even cooking and crisping of the bacon. They are best served immediately after cooking for optimal texture and flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike larger crab cakes, these mini versions offer a more delicate portion size, allowing guests to sample multiple items. The addition of bacon-wrapped scallops provides a distinct flavor profile, combining the sweetness of the sea with the savory, salty notes of the uncured bacon.
