These crab balls were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I will drain them on paper towels next time I make them.

These crab balls were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I will reduce the amount of salt next time I make them.

These crab balls were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I will add some more mayonnaise next time I make them.
