I'm not sure what went wrong, but my crab cakes turned out really dry. Maybe I overcooked them.

The crab cakes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would use less oil next time.

These crab cakes were a bit too crispy for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of Cap'n Crunch next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the crab cakes turned out perfectly. They were cooked through but not dry, and the flavors were well-balanced.

I was skeptical about using Cap'n Crunch in crab cakes, but I was pleasantly surprised. The cereal added a nice crunch and flavor to the cakes.

These crab cakes were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and moist and flavorful on the inside.
