I used the same crab cake recipe for both patties, the only differences are what I coated them with before frying and the toppings.  The first one was coated with bread crumbs.  The second was coated with blackening spices.  The build with toppings will be explained with the pictures.

This was a fun one.  We always make crab cakes for Christmas Eve dinner and this was a nice way to enjoy them.  The chimi, guacamole one was to die for.  It really just worked well.  The blackened patty was very good too, just not topped as well as the breaded patty.
 
​PS…The buns are homemade…I just didn't feel like typing up that whole process.
