I love crabmeat any way it's served, especially in these crab cakes. If you don't have time to dash to the store, substitute 2 teaspoons of dried basil for the fresh. -Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida

I followed the recipe exactly, but my crab cakes didn't turn out as good as the ones in the picture. They were a little too greasy.

These crab cakes were just okay. They were a little too salty for my taste, and the basil flavor was a bit too strong.

I tried this recipe last night, and it was a disaster. The crab cakes were dry and bland, and the basil was overpowering. I won't be making this recipe again.
