This was very tasty, not QUITE a replacement for a crab cake, but definitely cheaper. I pumped up the seasoning by tossing in some adobo and liquid smoke. I subbed panko for normal breadcrumbs and also added an extra egg for some additional binding.

Surprisingly good! I added a bit more mayo than indicated and the cakes held together well. The seasoning was just perfect. Thanks for sharing.

I had a bunch of imitation crab left over from sushi night that I had no idea what to do with.. these were really, really good. The flavour was great and they made a nice dinner with salad and spaghetti squash. My only compaint is that they didn't hold together well enough. Next time I will add more binding agent (breadcrumbs, maybe another egg)... Thanks!
