I was at the tasting and they were really delicious. I re-read the recipe in Gretchen's cookbook, but I've never made anything quite like this before. We're in a serious food rut here. Ron grills a lot, and everything I make is soup or stew-like. We are in serious need of some variety. Seeing the Crab Cakes actually being prepared on the video really made me think, I can do that. We're having these at my house in the very near future. Thanks, Jeff & Russ. -Ruth “I’m now inspired to make some cakes!” -TSmann

A place called something like 'obrickies' in Baltimore was always our first 400-mile pit stop. Besides the crabs flung right onto the table, the cakes were the next best thing on the menu.

These look great! And as for canned crab goes, in a cake I don't think it really makes a huge difference. Oh yum! These look great!

They can be made as burgers, served on a toasted bun. The lemon dill sauce is also very tasty. They are called "Sugar Mill Crusty Crab Burgers" in my cookbook, St. John Style. Thanks guys, your tasting party was a BLAST! I must say, these crab cakes are delicious, well worth the effort. They can be made as burgers, served on a toasted bun.

They are just as much fun to eat as to make. Thanks to Gretchen for the recipe, the cookbook is a treasure chest of unique island flavors. These cakes are awesome.

However, they still looked pretty darn tasty. Marcia I have to agree about the canned crab. However, they still looked pretty darn tasty.

People in Iowa use canned crab, people on an island should use fresh crap. think of all the beers you could drink while shelling and cleaning them. Looks tasty! but come on, canned crab.
