I love these crab cakes! I made 6 of these today to pack in lunches. I never have been very good at making crab cakes but I think putting them in the fridge really helps them stay together more. Im not sure how many slices of bread I used since I used fresh bread crumbs I had pre made. I dont like shrimp or tartar sauce so I just topped mine with bread, but everyone else loved the tartar sauce. Excellent burger! Made for ZWT 3!

The flavors in this burger were great. I also had a challenge keeping the burger from falling apart. I also felt that the bread overwhelmed the crab (we tend to be purists and not use many fillers with our crab). I didn't have all the fillings on hand and that may have made a significant contribution here. Next time I'll have everything available. Thanks!

My family thought they might fall into a faint when they caught a glimpse of this crab burger. Robust, delightfully seasoned perfectly, and went well with the fillings that were recommended. I followed this recipe to a tee, and was very easy to put together. I served this on a "Wonder" hot dog roll, and all but a crumb was devoured. The baking powder worked well, thus puffing up the crab cake a bit~so in the end, this is one burger recipe that will be many times over. Made for ZWT3 07'.

Reviewed for ZWT III. These crab burgers were excellent! Very easy to make and the whole family enjoyed eating them - even my DS who is only 5 years old and normally won't even look at crab meat let alone eat it 
Thank You!
