This recipe was very easy to follow & I made a few additions. I added finely diced red & yellow pepper to the onions & celery sautee as well as some fresh corn. These babies were well coated in panko crumbs & they fried up so crispy & non-greasy. The taste was out of this world.




Positively marvelous

I've tried many crab cake recipes and either they were too "bready" or the flavor too strong because of various other ingredients. This recipe produced the very best crab cakes I've ever had. My family loved them with or without the Mayo. Thanks Sam!




Not as good as I expected

The flavor was very stong. Possibly needs less parsley or basil. The mayonnaise really made it better. Not sure I would make it again.
