Fold in the crabmeat, being careful not to break it up. Form into 8 equal-sized patties. Melt butter in a large skillet over med. heat. Saute the patties 3-4 mins. per side, or until browned. Serve immediately with cocktail or tartar sauce. NOTE: Imitation crabmeat will work too (well, not in MY book it doesn't!). If you make smaller patties, you'll have a great party appetizer= enjoy!
