This is a good recipe that's easy to make adjustments to. I had some canned crab that I bought on sale, so I used it. I didn't have buttery crackers so I used quick cooking oatmeal. I used some freshly dried tarragon from my garden and sauted the cakes in olive oil instead of butter. They were beautiful and delicious! I can't wait to try this recipe again!

absolutely superb. My husband could not stop raving about it. I bought crab legs from the market and shelled them and had fresh crab meat to make the crab cakes. What a wonderful recipe... Thank you thank you. Daffydilone

These really are great as is, Ive made them numerous times.

taste really good! but i suggest using real crab only because the first time i used imitation crab and it wasn't that good...the real stuff is way better.

This is a great recipe -- enough filler to "stretch" crabmeat (which is pricey even here on the Maine coast) but not too much to mask it. Thanks!

Best crab cakes I have ever had and I have eaten quite a few on the East coast in Maryland. Very moist and held together very good without a lot of fillers, just good ol crabmeat!

Super good, made them for Xmas Eve party everybody loved them. Did a double batch as I had 2 /16 oz cans of crab. Didn't have tarragon replaced it with minced garlic on one batch and hot sauce on another, also did half lemon juice and half worcestershire, amazing! They are wet, added a little more cracker crumbs, chilled for an hour before cooking and coated them with italian bread crumbs, totaly amazing! I think the buttery crackers is the key ingredient in making these cakes taste so smooth.

This was the first time I've ever made crab cakes and they were the best ones I've ever tasted! I did add old bay, used a little extra crabmeat and rolled them lightly in bread crumbs mixed with parmesan cheese because I wanted to seal in the flavor and wasn't sure if they would stay together properly without. I always had crab cakes with alot of bready type fillers and never really cared for them until I made these. Huge hit with hubby, can't wait to make them again!Thanks!

I've tried quite a few Crab Cake recipes and this recipe is by far the best. It deserves 5 stars!

These were excellent! We are from Louisiana and have had our share of crab cakes. My husband said these were the best he has had. I made a couple of changes. I used Tony's Cacheries seasoning instead of tarragon and I broiled them 10 minutes each side in the oven to cut down on fat content. Great recipe!

Good but heavy

I used regular bread crumbs and I didn't have tarragon so I used Old bay seasoning TM and added a little garlic powder and tobasco and a little dijon mustard and it was wonderful! My husband LOVED IT!!! He's very picky and said these were the best crab cakes he'd ever eaten. It HAS to be the best. :-) Thanks!

I made adjustments to make 6 crab cakes, because I had 12 oz of crab. I'm rating this a 3 only because we have never had crab cakes before. So maybe we just don't care for them at all. Nothing against this recipe. I don't know. Either way, we didn't like them enough to make them again.

We love this recipe. Great alternative to those who do not like strong seasonings (such as bay).

this is an easy and excellent recipe. I made it for superbowl and made 100 of them as we had a big party. everyone loved these and wanted the recipe... thank you it's awesome.....
