  • 3 green onions (green and white parts), finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

    This is a great recipe! Here's a hint for those people that think it's too watery! Make the cakes ahead of time and refrigerate them for a couple of hours. They will not fall apart when you try to cook them, and by the way, use some old bay!

    Wayyyyy too much liquid and too soggy. Flavor was great, but I wished I'd added some Old Bay like the previous posts indicate. Had to bail this recipe out by adding some leftover cornbread to the mix to dry it up since the first almost fell apart. Turned out much better after adding the extra filler.

    Very flavorfull. Adding extra ritz crackers is a must. Added panko bread crumds (1/4 cup to the crab mix and flour mix. Akso added couple dashes of Old Bay seasoning and smoked paprika. Added a nice flavor. Dried the crab with paper towels. This helped tremendously to keep the mix from becoming too soggy. Happy cooking!! =
