The crabs were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend cooking the crabs for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have used less salt in the sauce.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the hazelnuts were a bit overpowering. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce.
