Scallop, Shrimp, and Crab Seafood Cakes

Crab cakes made with fresh Maryland lump blue crab or Maine peekytoe crabmeat are my favorite; but since I can't get fresh blue crab or Maine crab in Rhode Island, I thought I might adapt my crab cake recipe to make a "seafood cake" instead. These were really good and easy to make. I eyeball my ingredients but the estimations here should be pretty close. If you make extra, these freeze nicely.
