FINALLY!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

FINALLY a real traditional recipe for crab cakes. Since the good jumbo lump was like $11 per 1/2 pound I used about 1/4 less... and added an extra 1/4 bread crumbs. Result = perfection!Read more

Pretty good but with tweaks
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I'm glad I read the reviews before cooking. I made a half batch, so I reduced everything proportionally, except I kept the... original amount of seasoning and bread crumbs. Also, I cooked them for 30 minutes and let them sit for 5 minutes. Even after 30 minutes, they were just a bit crusty and light golden brown but still moist inside. Pretty tasty crab cakes.Read more

Something's missing
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

While the crab cakes had a good flavor, I had to do a lot of tweaking. 1. they need some salt 2. they need more bread... crumbs 3. I added finely chopped scallions 4. 11 minutes of baking? No way. I baked them for 20 and they were barely a light tan, never mind golden brown. 5. After I took them out of the oven I fried them in olive oil until golden brown and served them with a fresh tomato salsa. I don't understand how this could be rated so high the way it was written.Read more

Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Very easy to put together. I cut the recipe in half and still was able to make six decent sized crab cakes. I agree that... they need to be baked longer - about 22 minutes and rested for about 5 minutes. I served w/ lemon wedges and remoulade sauce. Very good!Read more

Not bad!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was my first attempt at ever doing crab cakes. There are a few things I want to mention. Jumbo lump crabmeat here is... $17.99 for 8 ounces (prepackaged, refrigerated). I got a pound of claw meat for $8.99 instead. The large chunks of claw meat work great for this recipe. Also, the recipe doesn't quite specify whether the crab boil seasoning is like Old Bay powder or like Zatarain's liquid concentrate. I went with the liquid stuff.. even though it's 1 tablespoon for 5 quarts water in crab boil, a half teaspoon seasoned this recipe up pretty well. Mine came out a little liquidy.. I will refrigerate the cakes next time for an hour before cooking.Read more

Tastes great and very easy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Made these with bread crumbs instead of panko. I had panko, just thought the bread crumbs would add more flavor. The baking... soda I think was what made them. It made them fluff up a bit. They were great and next time I will try the panko. Oh, and I add some lemon zest to them also.Read more
