These are seasoned prefectly. No breading for filler you`re eating crab! I did add very finely chopped red peppers. I used Hellmans Mayo instead of Miracle whip. And instead of crackers I used panko flakes. This recipe is most definitely a keeper in my cook book.It was cooked about 3-4 minutes on each side. Thanks for posting a very delish and easy recipe. -
My family just loved these crab cakes. Will be making these over and over. Thanks for posting. -
These had a great taste but they did not stick together. I followed the recipe as written except I used Kraft mayo instead of Miracle Whip as that is what I buy.

These are it....if you have had MD or DE crabcakes and have fallen in love with them, then this recipe is the one you want. I made the recipe almost as stated and I was really impressed. I am making them again today and am adding finely minced celery and red pepper, just my preference. The reason I ALMOST followed the recipe is that I, too, like another reviewer, don't like Miracle Whip. Instead of cutting it out completely, though, I used half MW and half Mayo. The crab cakes benefitted from that little bit of extra sweetness and I will continue to make that adjustment. Thanks so much for a 10 star recipe! -
This is the best recipe I have tried in a long time and I am from Maryland. I used panko instead of crackers, a little change to the recipe. Thanks for posting this.
