Tangier Island Virginia Crab Cakes
I grew up eating these crab cakes, which are crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. They're absolutely delicious every time I make them. —Ann Girucky, Norfolk, Virginia

These are good crab cakes. We on Tangier Island tweet the recipe to our taste. I use more mayonnaise and more Old Bay Seasoning. The size is bigger also, I make about seven crabcakes per pound.

Good simple crab cake. We fried them and they were amazing. Next time I make them, I will add celery to add a crunch, but keeping this recipe for reference in the future.
These were tasty crab cakes that were easy to prepare. They held together nice and were golden on the outside. I would bump up the spice next time, though, for extra flavor.
These crab cakes have a nice crisp coating and go great along side grilled or baked fish. I would have added minced onion and celery though.
