Chesapeake Bay Crab Cakes

These were fantastic! Flavor was spot on.<br/><br/>Having read other folks' issues with their crab cakes falling apart, I used a muffin pan as a mold, and refrigerated the whole thing for about 20 mins before breading them. Thanks!

I have never made Crab Cakes before, I was pleased how easy it was. A great recipe, better than any I have had at the well known Restaurants. I also chilled them for about 2 hours before I cooked them, and they were just great. Thank you for putting this one on the site - Try it, you won't be disappointed!!

These crab cakes were fantastic! I have tried several recipes in the past but this one by far is the best. I did need to add more mayo, however, as the amount of bread crumbs called for absorbs the liquid ingredients very quickly. I also adjusted the amount of seasonings just as a matter of personal preference. I LOVED the way they held their shape and fried up golden brown on the outside and moist on the inside. Thank you! Thank you! Will DEFINITELY be telling my friends about this recipe

Amazing crab cakes, followed all ingredients listed. I was in a hurry to pull together before I left this morning. I did not fry the pepper and onion first. I choped to a fine dice. Mixed everything together. Shaped into patties and chilled covered until ready to fry. I placed a thin coat of mayo both side crab cake and rolled in breadcrumbs. All the coating adhered nicely with crispness when frayed. Delious! key for other viewers chill your crab cakes to hold shape.

I'm not going to assign stars because I'm just not very good at pan frying so I think any deficiency is of MY making, not the recipe's. These were very tasty but frying 4 to 5 minutes on each side would be WAY too long ... but that may be my problem. I wanted the oil hot enough to fry and not soak the patties with oil and I thought I had that achieved. But the patties came out darker than I thought they should. Very very tasty though and even with my inexpertise, my husband said they were "close" to five star and better than he has had in many restaurants. I will work on my pan frying technique. Thank you for posting!
