These are great! I've never had crab cakes before, let alone the ones from Joe's Crab Shack so I have nothing to compare them to but they are quite tasty. I had to make some changes based on the ingredients I had in the cupboards. I used about 1/2 cup of dry stove-top mix as I ran out of breadcrumbs, substituted a couple dashes of hot sauce for the pepper flakes and omitted the Old Bay seasoning completely as they don't seem to sell it at any of the stores here. I also didn't bother coating them in flour, and I pan-fried mine in olive oil as I'm trying to watch my weight. Thanks for sharing!

As a life long maryland resident and crab cake lover I have to say this recipe has great flavor and tatste and really easy to make. I used Jumbo Lump Backfin Blue Crab meat of course. I also grilled them to help reduce the fat content and they were GREAT. They would work well broiled and for those not concerned with their diet I bet they are wonderful fried. The best part is they were even better the next day. We had cooked too many. I know hard to beleive and had to refrigerate some till the next day. I usually don't like left over reheated crab cakes. The wife and I both agreed these were even better the second day. Next time we will cook them and refrigerate them, and eat them the second day. Thanks for a GREAT recipe.

these were sooooo good!!! i'm planning on making again but as a main course (crab cake burgers.....yum!)i had a similar recipe that i had lost....i don't remember mine having the old bay seasoning, so i used my regular seasoned salt, but will try again with the old bay seasoning. i would have used it in the first place but i didn't have any on hand. thank you! update: 02/11/08 tried these as burgers on toasted sourdough with tarter sauce, tomatoes, arugula and onions and they were so yummy. made them a little larger than if they were apps. to fill the bread. will make again.
