These were very good and a bit of a challenge. I had to substitute chopped steamed shrimp for the crab which made it a bit more difficult to get the cake out of the pan whole - my fault, not the recipe. I took a chance that what you meant was a raw egg beaten, not scrambled and cooked. I thought you needed the raw egg to hold the filling together. This goes in my Faves Seafood cookbook. Thanks Dude, can't wait to make this with crab!
