    Good flavor, but seriously do not stick together. I tried what other readers suggested on the second half and added more egg and panko and STILL didn't stick together. Doubled the amount of old bay spice also - I'd make them again if I could figure out how to get them to actually stay cakes

    Absolutely loved it! Easy to make. Have never even tried crab cakes before this receipe, but it was so easy to put together and fry. My fiance and I couldn't get enough of them. Will definetly be making again. Really good served with cocktail sauce.

    These were fabulous!! My whole family loved them. They were VERY delicate so if you don't want them to fall apart you should add an extra egg/bread crumbs in the mix, but I liked them just the way they were. We will definitely make them again!! I served with a wasabi/ginger sauce that added a little kick.

    I thought these were some of the best crab cakes that I have ever eaten. They did not hold together as well as some but the taste was fabulous. And it was a healthier version so that is a plus in my book.

    These cakes were just no good all-around. They fell apart, lacked flavor and were just not worth the hassle...will not make again.

    Wish I would have read the comments before I dove into this recipe. I should have added an extra egg, because it did not look like it would hold together (and I was right. It also lacked some flavor. To me it tasted bland to me, but my husband and MIL liked it. I may add some garlic and chili power next time. Overall not a bad base recipe, I just need to tweak it a bit.

    This is a delicious recipe. Do add an extra egg and up the amount of Old Bay. I added a good dash of sriracha once and red pepper flakes another time. Great healthy recipe.

    These were excellent, but I too altered it a bit. Instead of worchestershire (I was out I used soy sauce. For hot sauce, I used Sriracha (sp? several dashes. I also accidentally put the whole cup of panko in the mix, instead of half a cup, but I think it made them better (although more carby! I served them with my own concocted sauce...dijon, sriracha, and a little fat free mayo mixed together and drizzled on the cakes.

    This recipe was very dry and just did not have a great taste to it at all. I ended up making everyone sandwhiches and feeding this to the lab. My husband was raised on seafood right off of the ocean and loves seafood and will eat it about any way you can cook it and he wouldnt even eat this. I was realy disappointed. I followed this recipe exactly.

    Hands down the best crab cakes I have ever had, and that is as someone who has lived in Maryland for years. I shucked the crabs myself, so I'm reasonably certain that I had more crab than was called for, but I had some trouble getting it to hold together. Delicious, though!
