miller has left a rich legacy of wonderful recipes here on zaar, and this is one such stellar recipe. i didn't change anything (except that i didn't coat the patties in crumbs) and we loved the red peppers in the crab. we had this with avocado butter (#97094).

This recipe was great! I didn't have any red bell pepper so I added finely minced onion. Served with a spicy aioli this was fantastic! Thank you!

Fabulous and filling! I used fresh Dungeness crab and mixed in breadcrumbs, but used Panko to coat the patties before frying. I served these with a sweet chile dipping sauce and a concoction of horseradish, mustard, sour cream, lemon, and chives. Wnderful recipe..thanks for posting.

This recipe made 8 big patties! Served on a bed of greens with matchstick carrots, celery and red onions. Topped it with Miller`s Outer Slobodnikanian Salad Dressing #39461. I basically followed the recipe except I didn`t coat the patties with breadcrumbs and I used 2 tablespoons honey mustard in place of the dijon.Good Stuff!
