This is a good recipe. I broiled them at 325° for 25 minutes because we like our crab cakes broiled instead of fried.

These were awesome! I added a little bit of diced onion, used crushed Town House crackers instead of breadcrumbs, used low-fat mayo and baked the cakes instead of frying them. This recipe makes A LOT of cakes, so I'll half it next time.

I halved the recipe and added Old Bay Seasoning (1 1/2 tsp). They were very tasty! I bought some more lump crab meat and will make them again. I found them very easy to make and they held together pretty well when I fried them.

Yummy! I used Mrs. Dash grilling seasoning for the blackening seasoning. I also sprinkled parmesan cheese on the patties as I LIGHTLY fried these. I'll be making these for my next party.

I used crushed Ritz crackers instead of the crumbs with great results! They were totally awesome and so delicious they had you going back for more!

Nothing like JCS. They didn't stick together very well. But I did use the calculator to make the recipe smaller

I've never had crab cakes from Joe's Crab Shack, so I don't know if these are the same. I prefer a traditional Maryland Crab cake to these which are oily. The taste of the crab is overpowered by the fillers and seasoning.

Granted, I've never eaten at Joe's Crab Shack, so I have no reference, but these were awesome! The only thing I changed was to use cracker crumbs and they turned out delicious! I made a quick remolade sauce and made almost 40 mini crab cakes and they were gone in seconds. Thank you!!
