Good Taste, but steps to mold into cakes did not work for me. They feel apart when I was trying to dip in flour and the dredging just didn't work.

My husband and kids really liked this recipe. My only recommendation is to cut up the crab finer with a pastry cutter or knife so it will form better patties. It was a bit tricky to stay together when dipping, but when cooked it held together as well as any crabcake. I served it w/o the sauce and the flavor was great.

I made this for a party for some non-meat eaters that were coming. Several of the meat eaters ate these and chose them over the hamburgers I also served. I got more compliments from this recipe.
