Red Bar Crab Cakes image

This recipe was given to us at the Red Bar in Grayton Beach, Florida. They make the best crab cakes I've ever tasted. They're served with a Lemon beurre blanc sauce drizzeled over them recipe not included... I still have to find a good one, but this is a start. The recipe was originally entitled "Olivier's Crab Cakes", but most patrons of the restaurant would not recognize them by that name.

These crab cakes were a disappointment. They were dry and overcooked.

I was disappointed with these crab cakes. They were dry and overcooked. I think I might have used too much bread crumbs. I'll try again with a different recipe.

These crab cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best crab cakes he's ever had. I'll probably make them again, but I'll use less Red Bar seasoning next time.

I've tried many crab cake recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The crab cakes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the flavor is out of this world. I highly recommend this recipe!

These crab cakes were absolutely delicious! The Red Bar seasoning gave them a perfect blend of spices, and the crab meat was fresh and flaky. I served them with tartar sauce and a side of coleslaw, and they were a hit with my family. I'll definitely
