This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to simpler crab fitter recipes in the future.

These crab fitters were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I might try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I was a bit skeptical about the avocado-citrus-Thai pepper essence, but it turned out to be really good! It added a nice tangy flavor to the crab fitters. I'll definitely be making this recipe again.

I'm not a big fan of avocado, but I still enjoyed these crab fitters. The avocado flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the crab meat. I would definitely make them again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover crab meat. I had some leftover from a crab boil and these crab fitters were the perfect way to use it up. They were easy to make and turned out great!

I thought the avocado-citrus-Thai pepper essence was a bit too spicy for my taste, but the crab fitters themselves were delicious. I might try making them again with a different dipping sauce.
