Used different ingredients. These crab cakes were delicious! Fresh tasting with all of the ginger, coriander and lime. Thespring onions make it perfect. I served these for New Years Day Dinner and they were a hit. I used about a 1/4 cup of chopped fresh coriander because we like the herb but otherwise everthing else was perfect. - 29 Sep 2008
What a shame I can only give this recipe 5 stars. It deserves many more!! Thanks for sharing this one Dakota. It's a keeper. - 29 Sep 2008
These were very good, but milder than I expected. The crab flavour was really what came through. This was just about the best crab cake recipe I've found, but if I make it again, I'll probably add a little more ginger (I like enough fresh ginger to give my food heat) and maybe a touch of fresh crushed garlic. - 29 Sep 2008
