I didn't have any crab handy so I made these with salmon, a bit more economical than crab. Stayed together nicely and did not fall apart when cooking. My wife and I loved them.

They were slightly mushy and had a definite mayo taste.

Do you think these could be frozen? They sound very good but I don't care for crab. I'd like to make them for my husband but would want to freeze the leftovers for another meal.

It was good. I also used left over crab from crablegs. I was out of lemon juice but it still turned out good. My picky kids did not care for it.

This was my first attempt at crab cakes. They have good flavor and were really easy to make. I had nearly everything on hand to make them and used left over meat from crab legs instead of the canned crab. The only problem I had was that they didn't stick together very well, but I will definately attempt these again.
