I made this for my wife and she loved it. We gave some to our neighbors who also liked it and now want the recipe. It tastes great and is easy to make. Since the recipe doesn't ask for frying, clean up is easy and the house didn't have an oily smell. I used a 1/4 measuring cup to help shape the cakes. Just pat down with your palm to make the cakes a little flatter but wider.

I love crab cakes and now my own crab cakes are my favorite. I can never stick to a recipe, so I added to this recipe, but it was great. I used bread crumbs and corn meal instead of saltines, I added green onions and some other spices, but it was great! I served it with "Trader Joe's" tartar sauce and everyone flips over them!!

these crab cakes were really good and im excited about them! ill definitely be making them again. i changed the recipe slightly: used 2 eggs and 1/2 cup mayo instead of a whole cup. added green onions and chopped red pepper. extra old bay seasoning multi-grain club crackers instead of saltines. they were a little too wet when i added the amount of crackers called for, so i added some extra. also used canned lump crab meat which was fine. they stuck together GREAT and made perfect patties. they tasted perfect. im a big fan of the broiling technique instead of frying, less cleanup and much easier. THANK YOU!
