For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality crabmeat. Jumbo lump crabmeat is highly recommended for its texture and flavor. Avoid overmixing the ingredients, as this can result in tough crab cakes. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your preference, ensuring the mixture is moist but not overly wet. Serve with a side of tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added flavor.
