We love crab cakes and these were delicious! I served them with the Black bean & Corn salad!

I was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, so if anyone knows a good crabcake, it's me. And this recipe will make you one FINE crabcake! I didn't have dry mustard on hand, but I substituted a bit of spicy brown, and it worked just fine. A tip - do NOT overmix the crab meat - it will not turn out the way it's supposed to if you do - it's supposed to be lumpy! (People who weren't raised in MD tend not to know this, I've found.) If you can find Old Bay in your supermarket, BUY IT - it makes the difference! And of course, good Maryland crabmeat, if you can! Thanks, Bea, this rivals my own recipe! :-)

These are outstanding crabcakes! I added a bit of Dijon and minced green onions to them. Serves with Crab Cake sauce on the side.

Here in the UK crab is expensive. So i added some white fish to bulk it out. It worked very well. The cakes were light and excellent.

Had these crab cakes at a party and couldn't stop raving about them (or eating them!)...the host shared the recipe with me and I made them for Christmas Eve. Everyone loved them! They are very easy to make. I also added chopped celery & onions - Yumm!

These are great, with some adjustments as others have suggested; it is a must to add Old Bay, and I formed them and then chilled them so they didn't fall apart. My crab cake connisseur thought they were great. Served them with a Joe's Mustard Sauce (South Beach Diet) and they were a hit!

I am from Maryland, so we eat alot of crabcakes. I have tried many crabcake recipes, and this one is probably the best. I followed the recipe exactly, but I wanted to add Old Bay Seasoning, which I forgot *gasp*. Don't over mix the crab meat. It should stay lumpy!

These crab cakes are as good as the ones I paid $30 per entree for in Atlanta. Super easy to make and low calorie, low fat to boot. It's our special meal.
