I make these crab cakes according to instruction and top them with Genevieve Ko's recipe for tartar sauce. Terrific!

Don't forget to add your onions/parsley/celery once cooked to the bowl when mixing in the crab meat. Nice minimalist melange of flavors that combine for a nice tail

Delicious! The crab flavor really came through. I served the crab cakes with a lemon-dill aioli.
