Maryland Crab Cakes I image

Growing up near the Chesapeake Bay you learn that crabs are as valuable as gold. My mom made crab cakes every Friday in the summer months, but I like my recipe just a tad better. Don't tell mom.

Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound crabmeat
2 slices white bread, crusts trimmed
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon-style prepared mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning TM
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Pick the crab meat to remove any remaining pieces of shell.
  • Pick bread into small pieces and place in medium-size bowl with crabmeat. Add egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and Old Bay seasoning ™. Mix ingredients by hand to avoid overworking the crabmeat, you want to keep the lumps of meat as much as possible. Form into patties; this should make 6 good-size cakes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet, then fry cakes for about 4 minutes each side or until brown crust forms on both sides of the crab cake.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my crab cakes fell apart when I tried to flip them in the pan. I think I might have overcooked them.

These crab cakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more mayonnaise or butter next time. Otherwise, the flavor was good.

I've made crab cakes before, but this recipe is by far the best. The cakes were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a perfect balance of crab meat and bread crumbs. I will definitely be using this recipe again and again.

These crab cakes were easy to make and turned out great! I used fresh crab meat, and the cakes were packed with flavor. I served them with a side of coleslaw and tartar sauce, and they were a hit with my family.
