I love crab cakes and these were some of the best I've ever had. The red pepper sauce was the perfect touch.

The crab cakes were good, but I thought the red pepper sauce was a bit too spicy. I'll probably try a different sauce next time.

These crab cakes were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

The crab cakes were good, but the red pepper sauce was too overpowering. I'll try making it with a different sauce next time.

These crab cakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little more mayonnaise next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the crab cakes turned out perfectly. The red pepper sauce was a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it.

Delicious! The crab cakes were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The red pepper sauce was the perfect complement.
