I'm not a great cook, but these turned out really well. I didn't find them too crumbly (I patted them down and kept them at a fairly small size. I used canned crab and it was fine.

These cakes are difficult to saute without breaking them apart. I think I'll look for a recipe with egg in it from now on.

I found the slaw really tangy, but the combo of flavours was great. Hard pack the cakes or they tend to crumble while cooking. Loved using the Panko crumbs on this recipe.
