WOW This was great! I was looking for a crab cake recipe and found this one and it was great. I forgot the Old bay but didnt miss it. I didnt have panco bread crumbs so I crumbled up some garlic flavored triskets that I had. I left out all the veggies and rolled the crab into balls and rolled the balls in the crumbs, formed them into cakes and pan fried in butter. YUM!

Susie, this was soooo good. DH and I both enjoyed it. The salad came together really quickly and was perfect for dinner tonight with a cup of soup. I did leave out the capers :( and used 3 cans of crabmeat. I will be keeping this one handy and am anxious to try it with some fresh picked crab, it would be that much better.
