These were very bland and I was very glad that I fried a little 'taster patty’ before I formed them all and broiled them. My additions, such as green onion, minced garlic, Blackening seasoning, etc., probably kept this from being a true Maryland crab cake but if so, I am not so keen on authentic Maryland crab cakes.

This was a very good crab cake...not much filler and mostly crab...just how we like it!! I followed the tips of others and used old bay and omitted the hot sauce. My husband who is from Maryland kept saying, "MMMM....no more Red Lobster"!!! Delicious! Thanks!

I thought this was a great recipe but I did make some changes. I used yellow mustard and used 3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs. I also added Old Bay seasoning. I followed the advice of others and refrigerated the mixture for an hour or so to firm it up. I cooked it in a pan with butter and oil. Overall I thought it was a good recipe I gave it 4 stars because I made alot of changes.

Oh my are these delightful! It's my first time making crab cakes and they were easier than I thought they would be. I also liked that I can cook it in my oven instead of a skillet. I followed the recipe as it was except for the ground mustard, didn't have any so I used regular yellow mustard, still good though. Also, my patties didn't turn out as nice as the pictures on here, but they still stuck together and tasted delicious. I made the Cilantro-Lime Mayonnaise sauce also from this site to go along with it.

Great crab cakes. I (like others) replaced the hot sauce w/Old Bay cause I can't imagine any type of seafood w/o at least a little Old Bay on it ;). I also cut the calories by cutting out the egg yolk and using lo-cal mayo. Broiling with a little shot of Pam was a super idea. They had a nice crunchy outer crust and were cooked perfectly on the inside. Thanks for the post!

Good and simple!! I had nothing but crab meat in the house and went searching for anything really. I came across this bec I had everything. It turned out pretty good. Only thing is I had to use alot more breadcrumbs or there would be no way it would have stayed together. I'd make again but probally would add more seasoning and erbs.

This was the first crab cake I have made or eaten. The four stars come from the fact that I just don't enjoy crab that much. I must be crazy. The recipe was simple. I used fresh crab and tried broiling as well as on the stove. The broiling method worked better for me. The cakes stayed together, were crunchy on the top and juicy in the middle. I will make this again. Thanks.

I made these and they were a total hit! I did use Panko crumbs and omitted the hot sauce. I mixed them up, made them into bite sized crab cakes and put them in fridge. I baked them in the oven on broil for about 5 min each side put some tartar sauce on the side and had a great appetizer for a party I had!

I used imitation crab and basil instead of parsley. Boyfriend loved it, I felt it was missing something, possibly salt and more mustard (we used mustard, not mustard powder). Chilled as recommended, and kept the crab in chunks. Will try again, but with only 4 minutes in the broiler (5 minutes burned them).

Great use of fresh Dungeness crab from Puget Sound! Followed the recipe fairly close, but did not bother with measurements - everything by eye. I did thrown in some Panko crumbs with the bread crumbs and added the requisite Old Bay. Sprinkled the tops with extra Panko and sprayed with Pam. DON'T broil for 10-15 minutes as recipe calls for, or at least not on the top rack. Mine was starting to over brown on top in 3 minutes. Followed another reviewer's suggestion and set the oven to broil, but used the middle-low rack for all but the last 2-3 minutes. Served with a variation of a Remoulade sauce from this site.

I have lived in Maryland all my life, and these, I'm sorry to say, were not good crab cakes. They were dry and had a poor taste besides. We will not be having these again. What a terrible waste of a pound of backfin crab meat!

This recipe didn't do it for me. The flavor was fine, and I left it lumpy as was recommended, but the cakes (patties) did not hold together and was like plopping chunky cooky dough onto the baking sheet, then working to make each plop hold together to resemble a crab cake. I think it was too lumpy, but even mixing it better did not deliver better results. A lot of work and costly for it not to turn out appealing.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I made these last night - but I didnt have real lump crab. I had to use the imitation crab, because I just couldnt wait to try this. I know that for purists that might be a mortal sin, but it turned out FANTASTIC. My guy said "it's the best thing I have ever eaten in my life" Now I have to go out and get the real lump crab - which will probably curl his hair :) and get me flowers :) Thanks!

I combined this recipe with another recipe that called for the same ingredients except I added panko bread crumbs to my italian bread crumbs, a dash of Worchestire sauce, a teaspoon of lemon juice and cayenne pepper. After I prepared the crab cakes, I put them in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes to let them firm up and cooked them in olive oil. My family loved it. They thought my crab cakes tasted better than restaurants.
