Easy to make, light and flaky, and the best crab cakes I've ever tasted. I didn't have the right amt of crab meat, only 2 cans, and it came out great, making 5 round 3x3 size. I didn't know crab cakes can taste so good. Even my 18yr old son was suprised that he likes these too.

First time ever making these, was much, much easier than I expected. Did not have Old Bay seasoning so I had to substitute. Even without, these were really, really good! Did not make the sauce, used sour cream and mayo with dill instead.

1st off let me say... Oh my gosh!!!We made these last night for some friends and everyone LOVED them.. We cut the recipe in half and had enough for 10 people... I used 1lb of jumbo and 1lb of reg crab meat.To form them I used 1/4 measuring cup... perfect size

My search for a great crab cake recipe continues.The crab cake was just ok and the cilantro/lime sauce was not that good at all. We ended eating it with tartar sauce. I wasnt so disappointed with the taste of the crab cakes, more so then i was the money i spend on buying the fresh, wild caught blue crab meat for just mediocre crab cakes. It cost me $18 just for ONE pound! I scaled it down to four. The crab cakes did not hold together that well either. They were really delicate. I more than doubled the old bay and still could barely taste it. These were just average.

A quote from my husband -- "Ridiculously GOOD!" I had to size the recipe down to 6 servings -- and now we wish we would have doubled it! It was very good. I browned ours in a small amount of olive oil. I also did not have the seafood seasoning it called for - so I used Lawry's seasoned salt, a little ground pepper and a dash of garlic salt. YUMMY!

very good recipe, first time I tried it and everybody like it.

I loved this recipe. This is the first crab cake recipe that I tried that was successful for me. The next time I make it, the only thing I will change is to add a little bit more seasoning (either old bay or salt and pepper).

Good. I had to cut recipe because I only had one pound of crab. My 3 and 6 year old liked them, but I wouldn't say my search for the perfect crab cake is over. I didn't use the sauce suggested, I used a different crab cake sauce that I found on this site that is EXCELLENT.

I didn't rate this high because I didnt think it was great. It was good but I had to adjust the sauce, it was too oily and so I added more lime and cilantro. It could be because I had changed the recipe to yield 5 servings and some recipes don't adjust well. I would be interested in if any one else had the same result.

I have tried this and my friends loved it. The next time I make it, I'could probably experiment with some variety of sauces made from canned Campbell soups for convenience.

These tasted pretty good. It was my first attempt to make them, and i cut the recipe for only three people. But the sauce on the side i didnt not think i would like and my husband was skeptical seeing to as he helped me make them. However we were both pretty impressed with it, and we will make them again!

These crab cakes were awesome! I halved the batch and did half of that with canned crab and half with lump crabmeat from the seafood counter at my local store - the lump crabmeat was WAY better!! I would've given this recipe five stars except that none of my family liked the accomanying sauce - it was much too lime-y for our tastes. Crab cakes tasted fine on their own though :) Two thumbs up!

We just make this recipe with king crab and it was the best tasting crab cake we have ever tasted. We followed the original and only substituted Ritz for the saltines.My husband used to work summers at Ocean City, Maryland's most famous seafood restaurant, and he said these crab cakes are the best hands down.

This was my first time ever making crab cakes and they were deeeelicious! I added a little extra seasoning and some green onions and someone else suggested. Fabulous!!! Will definitely make these again.

I scaled this down to 12 oz. of crab. I also used bread crumbs instead of crackers, added a few red pepper flakes, and a dash of hot sauce and the results were delicious! My crab cakes came out looking exactly like the picture....

It was alright. I used immitation crab. Don't waste your time using immitation crab.. get real crab, otherwise it's not worth it.
