Hey Lam, I agree with wolf. Can't go wrong with old bay. I like the simplicity of this recipe. Really lets the crab flavor come thru. I must try this one. Jim

I'm a transplanted Marylander....this is the only way to make a crab cake. After you patty them put 'em in the Fridge to firm up so they won't break apart while frying!


This recipe looks perfect. Thank you!


These sound wonderful.

Thank-you!
