This recipe is delicious! No modifications needed. It is a crowd pleaser.

Loved this recipe. I made them ahead, froze them and brought them to OCNJ for an awesome quick meal after the beach. Perfect!

substiituted Panko breadcrumbs for the saltines, added one tbsp of Horseradish and 1/4 cup chopped onion and celery to the mix. They came out fantastic!!

I split the recipe (you half an egg by beating it and using 2 tbpns of the egg) and made 4 generous cakes big enough for an entree. I brushed the butter on the cakes and flipped them near the end to have both sides crunchy. Trader Joe's 1lb. crab meat in a can for $11.99 was what I used. It worked fine for both the small-size and lump meat. It was a true hit!

"This is one of the best things you've made," was spoken from my husband as he tried the third bite. Now... that' s a compliment since I've spent the summer exploring new recipes and foods each week. Definitely easy. Do try it!

Thank you so much for this info tchridy71, I appreciate your attention to my question. I certainly will get some through this source.

This recipe is a typical of what you get in a Baltimore restaurant. They are traditionally fried in oil/butter but most people today like them broiled (healthier) as directed here. The internal temp should reach 165 degrees. I spray the cakes with a buttery flavored oil spray before I broil or bake (450 deg) instead of the glob of melted butter. One may replace saltines with Ritz crackers (my pref.) or 4 crumbled bread slices. Also try replacing half of the mayo with Worcestershire sauce.

You can buy Old Bay Seasoning through amazon.com. Just put Old Bay Seasoning in the search. A can only costs $5.50 plus shipping. There really is no replacement or substitute for Old Bay! Hope this helps! =^..^=

I live in Canada and have never been able to find "old bay seasoning" but have found a "Seafood seasoning". Would this be a good replacement for the bay one? I am from the east coast and love all shellfish.
