50g mayonnaise
1 egg
½ tbsp Old Bay seasoning (optional)
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
juice 1½ lemons
handful chopped parsley
500g white crabmeat
50g breadcrumbs (look out for crispy Japanese-style Panko ones)
5 tbsp olive oil
350ml white wine

1 sprig thyme
1 bay leaf

juice 1 lemon

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, frozen crab meat is a good substitute.
  • Choose the right type of crab meat. There are two main types of crab meat: backfin and claw meat. Backfin meat is the most prized cut of crab meat and it is more expensive than claw meat. Claw meat is still very good, but it has a slightly different texture than backfin meat.
  • Don't overmix the crab cakes. Overmixing the crab cakes will make them tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Gently fold in the crab meat. Be careful not to break up the crab meat when you are folding it into the other ingredients.
  • Use a light hand when shaping the crab cakes. Don't pack the crab cakes too tightly or they will be dense and heavy.
  • Cook the crab cakes over medium heat. Cooking the crab cakes over high heat will make them brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces for crab cakes include tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and remoulade.

Conclusion:

Maryland crab cakes are a delicious and iconic dish. By following these tips, you can make perfect crab cakes at home. Whether you are serving them as an appetizer, main course, or sandwich, Maryland crab cakes are sure to be a hit.
