Ultimate Crab Cakes

these were a little bit of a disappointment. i will admit, i used imitation crab because the real stuff is SO expensive, but i don't really think that was the problem. First off the consistency was more like a seafood salad--very very thick. The cakes at restaurants seem to have a more ground up filling. Maybe throwing all of the ingredients into a food processor/blender would make them mesh more. They were SUPER hard to get to stick together but the only thing that helped was smashing them HARD in your hands into patty forms. The taste was okay but a little too mustardy. They weren't terrible, but I would pick a different recipe and use real crab next time.

these are soooooo flavorful, however It was a real problem getting them to stick & become a patty....they just fell apart when I cooked it, but very delicious. Then I tried putting flour so they would stick, and they did, but it took alot of flour so they lost some of the flavor. thinking next time maybe more egg & very little flour so they can be made into a patty. I hope that works cause these are the best crab cakes I've made.
