sort a kind a followed this recipe. ok.. some big variations. used the fake crab meat. I used two packages of it and shredded it. used frozen chopped onion. used about a half a bag of it. used old bay seasoning. read what many have said about it falling apart..added an extra egg, and some more mayo. used lemon juice instead of lime. added a bit of dill weed as well. still had some problems with it falling apart. came good though. next time..i will cut back on the mayo. think i went a little nutty on that one. added about an extra two tablespoons of it.

The recipe is very good, however, I did add an additional egg white and bread crumbs. My question is this.........what's an olive oil count? I've cooked for 33 years and have never seen that term.

These crab cakes are the best. I make them all the time and they come out perfect.

I do like to bake them on a wire rack, they seem to puff up better.

My husband made these for our anniversary dinner and they turned out perfect! We took in account all the reviews and tips everyone suggested and it helped us adjust the recipe and we had NO problems. They didn't fall apart in the pan at all. We will most definitly be making these again!!! Really, really good!!

I made these with Philips Jumbo Lump crabmeat and they were outrageous. Food is not always an exact science. You should know just how much refrigeration will firm up any mixture and adjust your mixture accordingly. If it is loose when you mix it, chilling them will not make them firm. Add more crumbs if necessary, make sure the oil is hot and use non-stick pan.

The crab stood out. Thank you Tyler.

i have to agree with everyone else, they fell apart. it was light tasting, but just not able to get them to stick together.

I share the sentiments of the reviewers who complained about the crab cakes falling apart as they were being cooked. I followed the recipe closely (other than adding a bit of dry mustard and some Cayenne pepper, but the results were poor - perhaps not enough bread crumbs to bind the other ingredients properly. The taste was quite good, but otherwise the crab cakes were a big disappointment - I'll stick with my recipe for classic Maryland crab cakes next time. On the other hand, the celery root cole slaw was superb. I will definitely be making that again to accompany my Maryland crab cakes!

I love these crab cakes, love they way Tyler cooks, have his cook books, but I cannot watch him on TV for long because if he says all right once he says it at least 50 times. I have counted!! Wrote to the show, but no one cares I guess

I just made these for my son's birthday dinner along with filet. He loved them and his brother did too!! I'm still not sure why people are having problems with them holding together, maybe you just need to adjust the ingredients a little...........

I am not fabulous in the kitchen but I thought these turned out great! Really easy to make and full of flavor. I used 1/2 canned lumb crab meat with fresh crab meat and they turned out delicious!
