I just made these and they are very good. I however, would not make these cakes with out the fantistic dipping sauce. I tried to cut calories and used lite mayo which didn't work as they didn't hold together and I am guessing they needed the real mayo as a binder so they don't fall apart. but all in all they are excellent even with the lite mayo still tastey

These were some pretty tasty crab cakes....was somewhat hesitant to the idea.
Didn't have 3 items (ginger + cilantro + lemongrass. Wish I would have had the ginger to see what it adds to the overall flavor. Substituted parsley for cilantro (ok, not quite the same...but it added color and grated lemon peel for the lemongrass. All in all they were great and the family loved 'em!

This recipe was great; I'm surprised coconut crab cakes don't appear on more menus. The ginger and green onion was the perfect seasoning (I omitted the peppers, and the coconut doesn't overpower the crab at all. The sauce was a very nice accompaniment, though the crab cakes could stand on their own too. I pan-fried these and they turned out a little greasy for my tastes; next time I'll try a lightly-sprayed griddle or baking in the oven.

I made these 2 days before, wrapped them in a pan tight with saran wrap then dredged them and fried them the day I needed them. They were fabulous. Even people who weren't to keen on coconut loved them. Panko bread crumbs I can see were they made the difference because they are so light. I found them in the Asian section of the supermarket.
Make them and enjoy them.

This was my first time making crab cakes and these turned out great. My family and I are not a fan of ginger so I ommitted it from the recipe and they still turned out with a great taste. My in-laws even said they liked them better than crab cakes they have had at restaurants.

A very tasty and different dish. I loved how how the coconut was on the outside and browned but it didn't over power the crab cake. A very good dish

These crab cakes are excellent. The Lime Dipping Sauce compliments the crab cakes nicely. The crab cakes went together easily and cook in no time. I couldn't find unsweetened coconut, so I substituted sweetened coconut and they still tasted great. Now, when we want crab cakes, we don't need to go to a fine restaurant to find them. Thank you Food Network.

I never would have thought of coconut with crab, but I'm glad that someone did. And I used canned crab making it even easier to enjoy these treats! Yummy!
