I would give these crab cakes a 3 out of 5. They were good, but not great.

These crab cakes were way too salty. I had to throw them out.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my crab cakes fell apart. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The crab cakes were a bit dry, but the aioli helped. Overall, they were still good.

These crab cakes were a hit! The basil aioli was the perfect complement to the crab cakes. I will definitely be making these again.
