Absolutely delicious! I have made these in a skillet as well and they taste just as delicious as on the grill. I prefer to use fresh crabmeat, but you can use whatever is on hand.

These crab cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best crab cakes he's ever had. I would recommend these to anyone who enjoys spicy food.

I was disappointed with these crab cakes. They were dry and overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

These crab cakes were good, but not great. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have enjoyed them more if I had added more spices.

These crab cakes are so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly. I love that I can make them ahead of time and then just reheat them when I'm ready to serve. They're also a great way to use up leftover crab meat.
