Made this for my Semi-Edible blog and I have to say, out of all the crab dishes we tried that night this was the most edible....but the other two weren't even semi-edible. The cracker coating is lame, because it masks the mushy mushy inside. The Old Bay, mayo, seasoned bread crumbs and egg were too much. I did like the Sassy Tartar sauce though, it was a little too salty, but good.

My hubby and I both loved these crab cakes! Easy to make. This will be our go-to recipe for crab cakes.
Didn't make the tartar, though.

This is an excellent recipe, I'm just now learning how to cook and its really simple and the crab cakes are delicious! Its very tasty, how ever I did not use the lemon juice and instead of Old Bay seasoning I used seasoning salt, pepper, and rotisserie chicken seasoning. I highly recommend this recipe :
