Delicious. Followed the recipe exactly and it was fan-tas-tic. Took a bit longer than the recipe calls for but absolutely worth it. yum!

Awesome! Have received so many compliments and requests to make this again. I cut the sugar in half for the spiced tomato glaze. You could also cut in half the amounts for the all the sauces or just double the crab cake batch. The sauces are great with all spicy seafood or chicken!

I've made Ina's and Tyler's crab cakes and am a huge fan of both chefs, but these crab cakes by Emeril are hands down THE BEST! Perfect consistency, taste, and texture. This recipe beats the competition by a mile. My search for a crab cake recipe ends here!

This recipe was out of this world. It may take a while to make, but the wait is worth it!! My entire family told me this was the best meal I ever made. Can't go wrong with this recipe.

Amazing flavors. Everyone loved them so much it was requested next Thanksgiving. The recipe is time consuming but well worth it.

There are no words to describe how awesome this dish was. I followed the instructions as stated. The only thing I'll do next time is not cut down on the hot sauce. You need that extra pop with all the other flavors going on in your mouth. I made this for my friends and all they said was "WOW!" and their expressions said it all! This recipe was very easy, quick and the presentation was awesome. I even took a pic. Emeril, you ROCK! Thanks for making me look good in the kitchen!

I have never made crab cakes before--always bought premade--but I will never buy them again. These are so delicious and, I thought, relatively easy. I am not an expert cook, more of a baker actually, but I thought this recipe was straight forward. I followed the recipe exactly and had no problems. I didn't feel it needed to be changed the second time I made them either. The crab cakes themselves were pretty easy to assemble. My first go round them seemed too wet; I should've added more breadcrumbs, but I didn't. They held up pretty well in the frying pan, but not perfectly. The second time it was complete perfection. The only difference the second time--I used Hellman's mayonnaise instead of homemade and I used premade Italian seasoned bread crumbs instead of homemade. (I guess the homemade versions just didn't agree with the recipe!

My only disappointment was the sauces. I didn't care for them. Instead, the biggest hit was the premade spicy dipping sauce and remoulade sauce from the store.

I will be making these many more times. Much more ecomonical than buying them already made, and very little effort is required--just time to chill, time to bread, and time to fry.

I cooked this recipe with my friend. Somehow we managed to do it dairy free by subsituting out the eggs, etc. 3 hours of prep time later and it turned out amazing! One of my friends fell on the floor (jokingly because he thought it was the most amazing thing he'd tasted in a long time!


Definitely a challenge, but definitely worth it!

These crab cakes were very delicious! I doubled the recipe for everything and made about 15 crabcakes the size of my palm, and not too thick. I served 2 to everyone, with toppings and a side of potato salad and we were all stuffed!

I ended up buying Crab Claw meat accidentally instead of Lump Crab Meat, it was a lot cheaper and just as tasty. I think it probably held together a bit better than the lump meat would; I gave it a gentle squeeze over the sink to get rid of the excess liquid.

I wasnt able to find the Emeril Pepper sauce at my grocery store so I didnt make the red sauce. It was so good without it, I dont think we missed it.

Initially, I found the mango salsa a bit too vinegary for my taste. Perhaps when I doubled the recipe, I didnt really need to double the vinegar. I poured the excess off and once it mellowed before dinner it was great!

The Cilantro-Avoacado emulsion was delicious!

Everyone raved over this meal... time consuming, but I would absolutely make it again!
