These crab cakes are set apart from the ordinary when dotted with the fabulous garlic mayonnaise. I made these according to the instruction and the little cakes wouldn't hold together for me, so I had to add some cracker crumbs to bind them enough to roll in the flour and cornmeal. That seemed to do the trick. Next time I make these I will use the garlic mayonnaise in the crab cakes as well as on the top. We enjoyed these a lot C.L. -
We loved the crab cakes. Very nice flavor. Thanks for posting. -
These were a big hit! Everyone also really loved the garlic may with it. I had to add a few soda cracker crumbs for consistency and that seemed to work very well. They tasted fabulous! Thanks! -
This was fantastic! Everyone raved about them! I made the cakes into a meal so made them a little bigger and still ended up with 6 large hamburger patty sized cakes. I wanted to take pictures but my fiance was grabbing them as I put them on the plate with the excuse that they MUST be eaten straight from the stove. This is a keeper for me! -
These were great, even my fussy eater loved them. I didn't use the butter, but sprayed them with PAM instead and they were fabulous. Next time I'll make the garlic mayo sauce as well.

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
