Baltimore Crab Cakes image

Crab cakes are so popular in Baltimore, they're even sold at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Use lettuce instead of a bun, and serve with a squeeze of lemon.

1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

These crab cakes were a disaster! The bread crumbs didn't bind the cakes together and they fell apart.

This is the best crab cakes recipe I've ever tried! The cakes are so moist and flavorful, and the bread crumbs give them the perfect texture. I will definitely be making these again.
