This recipe sounded so yummy I had to try it, especially since I love crab. Some people commented that these would fool you into thinking they were crab cakes, even though there is not a bit of crab called for in the recipe. Well after increasing the seafood seasoning almost by double, I certainly don't know what people are talking about when they say that it tastes like a crab cake. Now were they good? Oh yes! Even Kian loved them. I was disappointed that they didn't taste like crab cakes but they were still delicious!
The recipe made a lot and I refrigerated what we didn't eat. They were still yummy the next day, just not crispy. I did warm them in the microwave though. Maybe if I tried the oven or a toaster oven, they would crisp up some. I will definitely be making these again!
