Mcclellanville Crabcakes image

As served at Charleston's 82 Queen Restaurant. this recipe comes from the printed version as posted in The Taste of Charleston Restaurant recipes published in 2004. although the website for 82 queen now has a different version which adds more may and bread crumbs. but did not increase the amounts of crab meat thus yielding more crab cakes without as much crab meat in them. use which version suits your tastes. I prefer their originally shared recipe with more crab than filler.

I followed the recipe exactly and my crab cakes fell apart when I tried to flip them. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These crab cakes were a bit too oily for my taste, but they were still good. I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I've tried a lot of crab cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The combination of crab, shrimp, and Old Bay seasoning is perfect. My family loved them!
