"Worlds can be found by a child and an adult bending down and looking together under the grass stems or at the skittering crabs in a tidal pool." -Mary Catherine Bateson
You can use small mandarin oranges, tangelo, tangerine or clementines for this recipe but satsumas are native to Louisiana and easily available here. Alternatively, half of a small navel orange will work but will not have the same sweetness as the smaller orange.
The crab cakes are easier to cook on a flat top griddle than in the skillet if you have one. Either way, it is key to get the pan quite hot so that the crab cakes sear nicely to help hold them together but you have to turn the heat down slightly to keep them from burning.
