This recipe is a great way to use up leftover crab meat, but it can also be made with fresh crab meat. Either way, it's a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my crab-topped tilapia turned out dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by using less Old Bay seasoning.
