these crabcakes are the best crabcakes I have ever had! the mixture was a little wet to cover in panko so I put them in the freezer for ten minutes before coating them.

This is a great crabcake recipe and definitely worth making again and again. My girlfriend and I absolutely loved them. The panko makes it so nice and crispy.

I made these crab cakes perfectly.. unfortunately they just werent very good. The pimiento gave them an unwelcomed flavor and the panko breadcrumbs made them taste cheap and bland.. stay away from these
