Classic Crab Cakes

Crab cakes are one of my favorite dishes.  I've made them a hundred different ways depending on what I am craving at the moment.  Sometimes I will mix cilantro, lime, and chipotle for a Mexican flair or add ginger, soy sauce, and scallions for an Asian flavor.  If you have never made crab cakes before, it is best to start with the classic and experiment with the next batch.  This is the recipe I use and they come out great everytime.
