Crab Cake Sandwiches With Sauce Rèmoulade image

From Elle Dècor Magazine. Prepared crabmeat is expensive here so occasionally we will substitute less expensive scallops for some of the crab. This recipe really depends on the freshest ingredients for best results! Note: If cornichons are not available, substitute kosher dill pickles or green olives.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my crab cake sandwiches were a disaster. The crab cakes were mushy, and the sauce remoulade was too runny.

These crab cake sandwiches were a waste of time. The crab cakes were dry and tasteless, and the sauce remoulade was bland.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my crab cakes fell apart. I think I needed to use more bread crumbs.

I'm not usually a fan of crab cakes, but these were really good. The crab meat was fresh and lump, and the sauce remoulade was delicious.

These crab cake sandwiches were a little bit of work to make, but they were worth it. The crab cakes were packed with flavor, and the sauce remoulade was creamy and tangy.
