    My east coast family and friends enjoyed this recipe. Husband said 4 forks, friend said 5 forks and Mom my picky eater ate it all so I am giving this 5 forks. My first time ever making crab cakes, and after some of the disasters I have seen experienced crab cake makers have I am going to say this is a beginners user friendly recipe. Follow as written and you will be the star of the show. 03 30 2014
    PS
    I used yogurt in place of the sour cream.

    Sounds very much like the way I make mine, but I never thought of the sour cream. Looks delicious.

    Yah, it's hard to tell how hot is hot with a keyboard. I can send voice messages but I'm afraid my southern drawl would disguise the message?

    I made your old bay crab cakes tonight for dinner. It was really great, but I think I started my heat out too much. They fell apart easily. Good news though. My family ate every crumb!!! I loved it too. Thanks!!

    This sounds divine delish--tell me though, is kosher salt, non-iodized salt? Or will it say kosher on it? And I'm not stupid, just mis-understood...hee hee
