We do not use cocktail or tartar sauce, but feel free to use them if you like. If you use frozen crab meat, drain it well before using. You may also make...

These crab balls were a disappointment. They were bland and mushy. I won't be making them again.

I've tried many crab ball recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The crab balls are perfectly crispy on the outside and tender and flavorful on the inside.

I followed the recipe exactly and my crab balls turned out flat and dense. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These crab balls were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less Old Bay seasoning next time.
