Lemon Aioli

So at the store today, while perusing the seafood counter, the boy pointed out to me that they had crab cakes. Five times. In a matter of two minutes. What can I say? He wore me down, so I got four of them. I thought they would make a perfect appetizer for us while our tilapia cooked.

Crab cakes are one of the few seafood items that I've been eating for a while. Maybe it's the breading or the fact that I must like crab, but I do, I like them. I like them better with a really good aioli and I found one to make as an accompaniment.

P.S. The boy ate two.
