Crab pancakes are a delicate and aromatic dish that has become popular in Russian cuisine due to its simplicity and vibrant flavor. Historically, it resembles traditional fish cutlets but with a more refined seafood touch. The combination of crab meat, cheese, and yogurt gives the pancakes a tender texture and rich taste, while the crispy golden crust makes them especially appetizing. Ideal as an appetizer or main dish, they pair wonderfully with fresh vegetables, herbs, and various sauces. Crab pancakes are suitable for festive tables and cozy family dinners; they are easy to prepare and bring joy to anyone who appreciates seafood and exquisite flavors.
