These are the best soft crabs! The bacon is a real surprise. The flavors blend beautifully. You'll never make them any other way.

I'm not a seafood fan, but I tried these crabs because my friends raved about them. I was surprised to find that I actually liked them!

I'm a picky eater, but I loved these crabs! They were crispy, flavorful, and tender.

I'm a vegetarian, so I don't eat crabs. But I'm sure these are delicious for people who do.

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I can't eat these crabs. But they look delicious!

I'm not a fan of soft crabs, but my husband loves them. He said these were the best he's ever had.

This recipe was a disaster! The crabs were overcooked and the coating was soggy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The crabs were good, but I was disappointed that they weren't as crispy as I thought they would be. I think I might try frying them at a higher temperature next time.

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

The crabs were delicious, but the coating was a little too thick for my taste. I think I would use less flour next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the crabs turned out great! I did have to cook them for a little longer than the recipe called for, but that's probably because my crabs were a little larger.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it always turns out perfect. The crabs are always crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I love that I can use fresh or frozen crabs, depending on what I have on hand.

These soft crabs were absolutely delicious! The coating was crispy and flavorful, and the crab meat was tender and juicy. I served them with lemon wedges and tartar sauce, and they were a hit with my family and friends.
