Mirelurk cakes

Mirelurk cakes are savory cakes that are made with mirelurk meat. Despite the source material, they are altogether inferior to the original meat, healing only a quarter of the HP and with a rad value one higher. In this sense they are closer to hatchling mirelurk meat. A recipe for the cakes can be found in the Anchorage War Memorial.

Recipe
In the Anchorage War Memorial, the player can find a "secret stash" containing the recipe for mirelurk cakes. To get it, the player must find the necessary door component to unlock the storage room, which has a key to the stash and a note on how to find it. The stash itself is hidden in one of the refrigerators on the level beneath the kitchen area. Having the key in your inventory "activates" the stash and generates the items in the fridge. It should be noted the recipe is not like schematics and you will not be able to make the cakes yourself even if you find it.

It may be worth noting that, assuming one substitutes the scrub plant with green onions, this recipe can be followed in real life to produce crab cakes.

Locations
Mirelurk cakes can mostly be found with diner merchants. Gary Staley, the owner of Rivet City's marketplace diner believes he is something of an expert at making them, although the cakes available at the Galley are exactly the same as everywhere else. A large number can be found in the fridges in the Anchorage War Memorial.
