The best crab cakes I ever ate were from a little roadside fish market in Tillamook Oregon. She didn't have a recipe, exactly, but told me how to make them. The secret is to use as few fillers as possible so the crab taste comes through. She used mayo, Dijon mustard, no egg, and panko. Panko is lighter than saltines or regular bread crumbs. You find it in the bread crumb aisle, although maybe not at Kent's.
