Ok, these crab cakes gave me a really good jumping off point. We used imitation crab and we had to run it through the food processer to chop it fine. Then I added dill and garlic powder and old bay seasoning to the crab in addition to the ground mustard. we chilled it for 20 minutes, and just as we were getting ready to form the cakes, we added the crushed crackers to the crab, instead of rolling them. they held together MUCH better, and everyone in my family LOVED them!! (even my 3 year old, and he's PICKY!!!) we will definatly be adding this to our regular rotation. Also, for something different, add a teaspoon of dill and a 1/2 tsp garlic powder to 3 tsp of mayo and use as a dipping sauce or sandwich spread. Gives the cakes a different taste than just plain butter.

Used imitation crab in place of real, saltine crackers in place of buttery round. Added some dill & cajun seasoning. I also double dipped with crackers. Put them in crackers as instructed then quickly dipped in an egg mixture and re-coated with cracker. Served with corn fritters, Pillsbury southern style bisquits and southern style gravy, as well as some cajun red beans.

This was a wonderful recipe, though I did add 1/2 tsp Old Bay, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper and a clove of minced garlic. The only reason it doesn't get five stars is because they fell apart. I used imitation crab meat and chopped it with a food chopper. I did not use all the oil it called for. I just poured some in the pan and fried them like pancakes. They were so tasty my husband asked for more.

Very good. Instead of making them large size, make them into little patties for a party hors d'overs

This recipe was nothing exceptional. The cakes didn't stick together for anything, and the taste was only so so. I hated it, my husband thought it was OK.

So the crab cakes didn't hold together very well when we were making them, but they sure were tasty! I used canned crab since fresh is hard to come by here and requires a lot of work, and achieved similar results. Don't use a lot of oil, they'll only fall apart easier, and that aspect of this recipe really wasn't necessary. Just a bit of butter/margarine in the bottom of the pan is good.

Authentic Eastern Shore taste. Added a bit more Worcestershire sauce and also some Old Bay. I find that refrigerating breaded items helps them stay together. Thanks for a great recipe.

I'm sorry but I just really did not enjoy these crab cakes very much at all. I used fresh crab meat that had been packaged at my grocery store so it had the consistency of tunafish. I thought this would work out well since several members commented on the patties not wanting to stay together. I also added the Old Bay seasoning like others suggested. I didnt have any problems with the patties not staying together, but I just didn't like the taste of these at all. I want a recipe that has some sort of stuffing inside. These tasted kind of bland and I think with the stuffing you get a variety of flavors (not just all crab meat).

I couldn't find fresh crab and used imitation. It needed to be run through a food processor or something (which I don't have). Otherwise delicious. Disappeared in no time!

This was a big hit with my husband. He said he wished he hadn't eaten earlier so he could eat more. I did add a little extra worcestershire, a couple tsp. of lime juice, & a little Old Bay. They held together just fine once the first side was done. This will be added to my regular meal rotation! Thanks!

This was my first time making crab cakes and I must say they had a great flavor and browned very nicely. I was expecting something with a store-bought flavor, but they were MUCH better. I did have some trouble keeping them together and added another egg and a few more crackers along with the juice of half a lemon. Delicious - I will make them again.

These were quick and easy to make. They are by far the best crab cakes I've ever eaten.

I have tried a lot of crab cake recipes. I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. These are the best!!

My family weren't huge fans. None of the other flavors were picked up. It was just as well if we sat with a can of crab and a fork.

Very good crab cakes with the addition of Old Bay and more seasonings. Nice addition to our holiday appetizer table. Thanks Mike!

Quick and easy to make. Absolutely delicious

Very good. Just a little on the bland side. I added Old Bay. Next time I will add some other seasonings. My 2 yr old loved crushing the crackers and he even ate some of the crab cake.
