These crab cakes are a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time.

I had some trouble finding crab meat, but I was able to make do with shrimp. The crab cakes still turned out great.

The tartar sauce is a bit too tangy for my taste, but the crab cakes themselves are delicious.
