I'm not a huge fan of crab, but I really enjoyed these crab balls. The lemon caper sauce is what really makes them.

These crab balls were a bit too bland for my taste. I think next time I'll add some Old Bay seasoning to the mix.

I've made these crab balls several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're easy to make and always come out perfectly.

These crab balls were absolutely delicious! I made them for a party last weekend and they were a huge hit. The lemon caper sauce is the perfect complement to the crab balls.
