Absolutely delicious! I have made these in a skillet as well and they taste just as delicious as on the grill. I prefer to use fresh crabmeat, but you can use whatever is on hand.

These crab cakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more mayonnaise or butter next time.

These crab cakes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.

I didn't have any crab meat on hand, so I used shrimp instead. The shrimp cakes turned out great! They were just as flavorful as the crab cakes, and they were a hit with my family.
