This is an easy and tasty recipe. I did add some garlic powder to the mix.

delicious. I lowered the glycemic index by using oatmeal instead of bread and added red and orange peppers. went great with brussel sprouts and cauliflower

Delicious and so easy. Makes exactly 8 patties which all fit into one skillet. Seems to be missing something though...maybe onion?

These are very good. My only complaint is the nutrition figures. They are NOT based on the exact recipe but on using substitutes. Figure them only on the recipe as written.

I cut the recipe in half and used salmon instead of crab. They turned out great - moist on the inside, crispy on the outside.
