These crab cakes were really good, but they were a bit too expensive for my budget.

I would have liked these crab cakes more if they had been a bit more crispy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my crab cakes turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These crab cakes were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I actually really enjoyed these crab cakes. They were so flavorful and well-made.

I didn't have any fresh crab on hand, so I used canned crab instead. It worked out just fine.

These crab cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a bit too much cayenne pepper. Next time I'll use less.

I've made these crab cakes several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of crab, shrimp, and corn is perfect, and the Creole tartar sauce is the perfect finishing touch.
