Maine Crab Cakes image

These little hummers come together quickly and are sooo good. I like to chill the crab cakes for about 15-20 minutes before cooking. I'm partial to Maine crab 'cause it's in my backyard and really sweet. If using other type of crab, don't use the expensive claw meat. The less expensive crab (body and knuckle mixture) binds together better.
