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

I substituted panko breadcrumbs for the regular breadcrumbs and they turned out great! The crab cakes were nice and crispy.

These crab cakes were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less Old Bay seasoning next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the crab cakes turned out perfect. They were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I served them with tartar sauce and lemon wedges and they were delicious.
