Maine Crab Cakes image

These little hummers come together quickly and are sooo good. I like to chill the crab cakes for about 15-20 minutes before cooking. I'm partial to Maine crab 'cause it's in my backyard and really sweet. If using other type of crab, don't use the expensive claw meat. The less expensive crab (body and knuckle mixture) binds together better.

These crab cakes were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less Old Bay seasoning next time.

I've made crab cakes before, but this recipe is by far the best. The crab cakes were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The flavor was also incredible. I will definitely be making these again.

These crab cakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more mayonnaise or butter next time.
