A really easy recipe. I made mine with tofu "crab" meat, skipped the milk, and used Ritz crackers b/c that's what I had on hand. A huge HUGE hit with the husband.

This recipe came out perfect! I did make some substitutions to keep the Weight Watchers point value down. I used egg beaters for eggs, used 1 TBS Fat Free Mayo + 1 TBS dijon mustard for 2 TBS mayo, used 4 tsp Silk soy milk for 4 tsp milk, and used 10 onion flavored melba toast for 10 saltine crackers. I also doubled spices and green onions for extra flavor and used 1 tsp Old bay. I will definitely make this again. For those on Weight Watchers using Flex Points, the modified recipe came to 26 total points; with each crab cake (not serving) being 3.25 points each. It was a nice change from the usual chicken meals we eat. Thank you for this recipe!!

It's a very good recipe but not perfect. There was too much liquid and not enough spices. I added fresh parsley, crushed red peppper and a little garlic.

This is a good starter recipe for adding other ingredients that suit your taste. I ended up using more mayo to hold everything together and more like 1 tsp. of Old Bay seasoning. I also added more green onions, and in the future I'll add more crunchy green veggies like chopped celery or green bell pepper. I used breadcrumbs instead of crushed saltines (panko would also be good), and I coated each crab cake in breadcrumbs before I fried it. With some homemade tartar sauce and lemon juice, these were excellent. Make sure not to break up all the lumps in the crabmeat, or the texture will be all wrong.

Excellent! I used leftover crab from last night's dinner, doubled the seasonings and green onion and used spicy cocktail sauce in place of the hot sauce. Coated with panko bread crumbs before frying and made an accompanying sweet sauce out of mayo, dijon mustard and a little peach preserves. OH was this ever yummy, thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

I am not a huge crab cake fan but this recipe was simple enough to get me to try my luck. These came out great but as usual I had to give the formula a little twist - I used half mayo and half dejon mustard and added a small sazon (cilantro) seasoning packet to the egg mixture.

This is our favorite crab cake recipe. It has more meat/less fillers. I do use more old bay seasoning and 2 whole green onions. I also 2 tsp of milk as 4 makes the crab cakes crumble easier. I also use veg oil instead as I don't care for the olive oil taste with these.

Easy. pretty tasty. After reading other reviews, I thought I'd double the spices. It worked well (although we like spice, so when we do this again, we'll be adding even more).

I was nervous about making crab cakes because I'd heard it was difficult, but these were extremely easy! They stuck together well and looked authentic. I used canned lump crab meat and got great results. I also added a tiny bit of powdered "True Lemon" for a slight kick. On the side, for dipping, I offered both hot sauce and horseradish sauce. Both tasted great with the crabcakes.

Found this packed in w/ my Christmas decorations & remembered I made it last year...must have forgotten to review it in the hustle of the season. I do remember, however, that we were disappointed in the recipe...they were pretty blah. The "perfect" crab cake recipe still eludes me. *sigh*

My family and I weren't that impressed with this recipe. I used canned crab, so maybe that was part of the problem. It was a little salty and too moist. I had trouble keeping the cakes together, even though I drained the crab meat. I think they could have used a little more seasoning, also, as they were somewhat bland.

I thought these were just ok. It's very possible that I just messed something up, but mine didn't hold together very well when I fried them. They were a little bland, but good with some sauce on them. My boyfriend liked them, but next time I'll try a different recipe.

Very good recipe! I will make again for sure. I ysed Old Bay Crab Cake Mix in place of the regular Old Bay seasoning but everything else I kept the same. Thanks for the recipe!

My rating did not match my husband and son at all. They loved. If it was up to me, I would not make again, but for them, I will. I added a little more Old Bay and kept everything else as written but I did not think there was a lot of flavor. My husband and son loved the fact that they had so much crab in them and not as much breading. Oh well....will make again for them. Thanks

These were pretty good, a little bland though. Next time I will try to tweak this recipe a bit, to give it a little more spice.
