These crab cakes are a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my crab cakes fell apart when I tried to flip them. What did I do wrong?

Delicious! The crab cakes were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The Italian seasoning gave them a nice flavor.
