Too much cornmeal.

These were all right. Very easy to make, and light on the budget (I opted for the imitation crab). There was nothing bad about the flavour, but I have to admit they didn't knock my socks off either. The predominant flavour was cornmeal. Mine turned out quite thick, so It's possible this may have contributed. Real crab meat may have been more flavourful as well. All in all, not a bad recipe. Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Spring 2012.
