  • Reviews

  • “Next time less parsley and more crab. I also added a Cajun Lemon Aioli to the top with a sprig of parsley.”

  • “I really enjoyed this recipe. My husband wants this at least once a week! I shared it with my mother & my dad loves it.
    It’s a very simple recipe, that I really like!”

  • “I used crushed Ritz crackers instead of the crumbs with great results!They were totally awesome and so delicious they had you going back for more!”

  • “Too heavy on the bread crumbs!”

  • “We were very pleased with this recipe. I had to modify it somewhat.I only used 3 whole eggs, had no dijon mustard so i subbed in spicy brown mustard. I also used imitation crab meat. Just because that’s what I had on hand. I didnt flour and fry in 1 inch of oil. Just heated cast iron skillet and give it one turn with olive oil. It still turned out nicely and we will be making them again. Thanks for the recipe Gingerbear”

  • “I halved the recipe and added Old Bay Seasoning (1 1/2 tsp). They were very tasty! I bought some more lump crab meat and will make them again. I found them very easy to make and they held together pretty well when I fried them.”

  • “I left out the mayo (much healthier that way) and it was still awesome.Thanks!”

  • “These were awesome!I added a little bit of diced onion, used crushed Town House crackers instead of breadcrumbs, used low-fat mayo and baked the cakes instead of frying them.This recipe makes A LOT of cakes, so I’ll half it next time.”

  • “This is a good recipe. I broiled them at 325° for 25 minutes because we like our crab cakes broiled instead of fried.”

  • “I was given a pint jar of frozen crabs legs and didn’t know what to do with them. Well, I do now! These were absolutly amazingly, fantastically good. OINK! My husband and I ate the whole recipe. “

  • “i’ve never had JCS’s crab cakes either – but my family REALLY loved these!! they were VERY EASY – which i prefer!! Thanks for the recipe!!”

  • “Granted, I’ve never eaten at Joe’s Crab Shack, so I have no reference, but these were awesome!The only thing I changed was to use cracker crumbs and they turned out delicious!I made a quick remolade sauce and made almost 40 mini crab cakes and they were gone in seconds.Thank you!!”

  • “Nothing like JCS. They didn’t stick together very well. But I did use the calculator to make the recipe smaller”

  • “these were really good.i did add an extra half pound of crab and used crushedclub crackers instead of breadcrumbs and they turned out great.dh requested that i add corn next time as he loves corn so i’ll probably try that when i make these again. thanks for the great recipe!”

  • “I’ve never had crab cakes from Joe’s Crab Shack, so I don’t know if these are the same. I prefer a traditional Maryland Crab cake to these which are oily. The taste of the crab is overpowered by the fillers and seasoning.”

  • “very nice, our guests ate them up.”

  • “Yummy! I used Mrs. Dash grilling seasoning for the blackening seasoning. I also sprinkled parmesan cheese on the patties as I LIGHTLY fried these. I’ll be making these for my next party.”

  • “easy to assemble and pleased the multitudes…including hubby who is a Baltimore native. Thanks”

  • “This recipe was great!My husband is an expert on crab cakes and he loved them.Will definitely try again!!!”
