    Really delicious! We simply loved these. I used flaked flounder instead of crab since that's what I had on hand. Mine needed about 30 minutes in the oven. I served them with a honey ginger dijon sauce. A winner!

    I tried these last night and was a little disappointed. They made a fine crab cake, but they just didn't have the zing I was hoping for. Aside from the coconut, they just really didn't taste any differently than an ordinary crab cake. I'm definitely going to make a spicy sauce for eating the leftovers. I'll probably go back to my usual crab cake recipe after this attempt.

    Great recipe! I followed the recipe exactly. I used sweetened coconut flakes, as that is what I had on hand. My husband and I both liked the sweetened coconut. I've also never toasted coconut in the microwave- but it works! I would check it every 20-30 seconds. Mine was toasted in 2 1/2 minutes.

Even though I am still young (25) Life experince has aged me alot. I learned to cook at both of my grandmother's knees (One southern American, one southern Irish) when I was about five. By ten I started collecting cookbooks and experinmenting on my own. As a latch key kid I cooked for my four younger brothers and sisters. My mom ran a small deli before she died when I was 17 so alot of my recies debuted there. Now I run my own catering Buisness. I am married to a wnderful man for five years now. I am a six year old daughter, sons who are four and three. We are also raising my 14 year old sister and nine Year old stepsister and have a 16 year old foster daughter, all of which love cooking with me. I am writing a cookbook with the hopes that when I pass I can leave my recipes for them My cookbook collection has now reached over 1200. Thank you for trying and reviewing my recipes.. <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg">
