I've made crabcakes for years here in Louisiana and would never intentionally break the lumps of the crabmeat for a crabcake. Getting a nice lump in bites is part of the goodness, in my humble opinion. This recipe is good, basically, but there are too many flavors for my taste. Crabmeat doesn't need to be buried with too much. What few ingredients I would use, would not be sauteed first. I love the freshness and crunch that the vegetables give to the fresh crabmeat.

I also like to coat them in panko on the outside. Nice crispness. I refrigerate them a bit before frying so they will hold together, better. Crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. A little remoulaude sauce on the side is a nice touch.

I didn't have celery in the house, but all other ingredients. It came out delicious. This is saved as a favorite.

Lots of comments about "too wet."

A question and comment. ONE, did you let them sit in the frig to set?

TWO -make them small!!!! I made 16 patties - using a large ice cream scoop for uniform sizing. When they are small, they dont fall apart! Moist - yes! That is what makes them good! Mine did not fall apart at ALL. I did not need to add anything, or coat them in panko.

We loved them.

I am going to make this crab cake. But I have to agree with the other Marylander in advance of making it, the recipe bears no resemblance to an eastern Shore crab cake. In those, there is just enough breadcrubs to hold the crabmeat together- tons of crabmeat, some Worcestershire sauce and a couple of other things, but the taste is pure crab. There is no competition with peppers and whatnot. My relatives would try this, they are afterall, all people of great appetites, but they wouldn't call it a crab cake.

Very flavorful but too moist.I agree with the comments about the consistency,it would need less moist ingreidients or more breadcrumbs.I will try using Panko next time.Do you test the recipes before they are put on the site?

The Barefoot Contessa provides a genuine recipe. My husband and I have eaten crab cakes around the world...always using the northeast USA flavors as a guide. Ina's crab cakes are competitive with any others we have tried. Terrific!

Null: you rarely make any of the recipes, yet you love to make stupid garbage remarks all over this site.

Ina fan.
