3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chile sauce with garlic (Thai style, if possible)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest

These crab cakes were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them baked instead of fried.

These crab cakes were a disappointment. The Cap'n Crunch was too overpowering and the crab meat was overcooked.

The crab cakes were good, but I found the Cap'n Crunch to be a bit overpowering. I think it would have been better with a different cereal, such as Corn Flakes.

These crab cakes were a bit too crunchy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them without the Cap'n Crunch.

I've made crab cakes many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The Cap'n Crunch adds a wonderful flavor and texture that I've never experienced in a crab cake before.
