Panko Crab Cakes and Tartar Sauce (Jessup Lane)

"Found this recipe in a beach house that we had rented and I copied it down! It seems like someone had given a container with the crabcakes (and the recipe attached) to the owner or previous tenant. What a nice idea. I made them without the tarter sauce since I didn't have the ingredients but I took some mayo, mustard and hot sauce and made a dipping sauce."

  1. This review is just for the tartar sauce...I had store bought crab cakes and wanted to make a tartar sauce. This recipe is excellent, far better than buying a jar of sauce. Thanks for posting.
     
  2. I love crab, but have had a difficult time finding a recipe that actually tasted like crab and not bread crumbs. I used leftover crab from our alaskan king crab legs last night, and yummy! I did use finely chopped red onion, since I didn't have scallions, and added the panko at the end, just to roll the crab in, again, that was to get more of a crab flavor and it was really tasty. I served it with lemon wedges only, because that was all it needed. Oh, and family gave it a thumbs up :)
     
  3. This is one of those that I wish I could give more stars! This was my first time and making crab cakes and the results were absolutely delicious! I made the tartar sauce as well and love the addition of the capers. It really compliments the cakes. Thank you for sharing!

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
