I'll try it this weekend, though Pinback heavily discouraged me from using imitation crab for various (good) reasons. But as the budget is kinda tight, do not believe I'll have a choice - guess I'll check out what is on sale at my local Asian Market.

The last step is the first one: Drain and with paper towels extract as much water from the crab as possible. Nobody likes watery goddamn crab cakes.
