I am salivating!!! I just wish I could afford the Dungeness Crab!!!!!! I will have to start pinching my pennies :)


Sounds great!!! I wish I had this recipe when I lived in the Pacific Northwest where I could get Dungeness crab cheaper or go out on Tillamook Bay with the pots and get my own.


Mmmmmmmm!


I'm from Baltimore and I must say, this sounds like the perfect crab cake recipe. Blue crab is plentiful here and I will be sure to make this one soon.
