I'm not sure what went wrong, but my crab cakes turned out really dry. The sauce was good, though.

These crab cakes were a hit at my dinner party! The wasabi caper sauce was the perfect complement to the crab, and the Asian-inspired flavors were a nice change from the traditional Old Bay-spiced crab cakes.
