I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my crab cakes fell apart when I tried to flip them. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These crab cakes were a bit too expensive to make. I think I'll stick to buying them from the restaurant next time.

I'm not a huge fan of crab cakes, but these were actually pretty good. The crab was fresh and the overall flavor was nice.

These crab cakes were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more Old Bay seasoning next time.

I love that this recipe uses panko bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs. It gives the crab cakes a nice crispy texture.

These crab cakes were a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of crab, herbs, and spices was perfect, and the panko bread crumbs gave them a nice crispy crust.
