This was so good. The flavor combination was excellent. However, mine didn't hold together during the frying process as well as I would have liked. Too much oil seeped into the cakes. I would have liked a little more moisture in the mixture. I may add the whole egg to this instead of just egg yokes next time, and I can assure you there will be a next time. Thanks for sharing.

I had to change this up just a bit to accommodate my food allergies but these were some of the best crabcakes I have ever had! Thanks for posting!

In my world a recipe is a guideline to cooking and can be altered to suit one's taste. I collect cookbooks for a hobby and have made at least one recipe from each one. And i am not that other Smurf.
