Excellent sauce. I used it on Maryland style crab cakes and it was a real winning combination! I just used lemon juice in the sauce, and about 1-1/2 cloves of garlic. I wasn't sure if the recipe was calling to use the whole lemon in the food processor, or just the juice. I think it would too sour or tangy if you use the zest as well. Just my taste. However, execllent! Thanks Glenn's Diner..:>

Really GOOD Crab Cakes!!!! I made them last August for a luncheon. I served them on a bed of baby arugula dressed with a simple lemon vinaigrette. I didn’t make the sauce as I was going for a less calorie lunch, didn’t even miss it.

I have made crab cakes several times before but this recipe is by far the best I have tried. I did omit the roasted red peppers in the sauce due to a couple picky eaters, but this was YUMMY! I followed the recipe exactly and loved it.

A bit too much Old Bay is called for. We didn't use the sauce, but I can see how it would temper the saltiness of the seasoning. Also, we had to add a fair bit more bread crumbs, as it was a bit too moist otherwise. I think this would be excellent with far less Old Bay and maybe panko instead of regular bread crumbs.....

Follow this recipe except when adding the ingredients for the crab cakes. MIx everything together and save the bread crumbs for last. Mix them in using portions. If you don't, the eggs and bread crumbs will mix together and form clumps. I ruined my first attempt by not adding the crumbs last and lump crab meat is not cheap. Other then that, this is a wonderful recipe. The red pepper aioli is top notch!!!
