    Simply superior!February 17, 2010 By Barb.Rolek
    One of the best crab cake recipes I've come across. Use good-quality lump crab meat for the best results!

    EXCELLENT!!!November 21, 2009 By chaffy
    I made these crab cakes just as directed and they were delicious. As stated before they are better than most restaurants. So good that I plan to serve them to the family on Christmas Eve.

    crab cakesJune 16, 2009 By tomalan
    first time i ever made crab cakes was using this receipe with imitation crab meat. The wife said it was the best she had ever tasted. i've had crab cakes in md. and other places and i have to admit this recipe is a blue ribbon!

    Delicious - loved themMarch 22, 2009 By sburchett2
    This is a great recipe. I used dried italian bread crumbs because I had them in place of the soft bread crumbs. They were not to greasy and didn't seam to soak up the butter. When I make them again, I might add some hot pepper sauce. Delicious!

    very good recipeSeptember 03, 2008 By mkt5308
    I had twice as much crabmeat and so did a sort of a doubling, although to cut down on calories and fat I still wound up using just a little bit more recipe ingredients than the single batch recipe called for. Besides being a bit crumbly (I couldn't wait, didn't refrigerate until firm as directed I just fried them right up so maybe they'd be firmer if i had) they were very delicious. I think they're great with a squeeze of lemon just before serving with tartar sauce.

    Better than most restaurantsMarch 26, 2008 By catmama009
    I love to order crab cakes at restaurants but now I've been spoiled. This recipe is also great with salmon substituted for crab. I used at 14 oz can of red salmon (its better than the pink) and followed it just the same. Try a remoulade sauce on top and you will have friends begging you for the recipe.
