English term or phrase: lump crab cake
I am preparing a bilingual menu for a seafood restaurant to be used all over the US, so I need to be as generic as possible in order to cover Spanish speakers from different countries living in the US, as well as Spanish speaking tourists.
What would you call the above dish/type of seafood/type of food in your country (specify country, please)?
Thanks!
