Overall, I thought these crab cakes were pretty good. They were easy to make, and the flavor was decent. However, I would probably try a different recipe next time.

I found that the crab cakes were a bit too oily. I would recommend draining the crab meat before adding it to the recipe.

These crab cakes were a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the recipe.

I've tried many crab cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The crab meat was fresh and succulent, and the bread crumbs and spices gave it a perfect balance of flavors.
