  1. Crab cakes a best made with LUMP crabmeat, so the meat should NOT be flaked. Also, Old Bay is a must!
     
  2. Do not even bother with this recipe if you are looking for "Maryland Style Crab Cakes", as these are not. The recipe should call for Lump Crab, some Old Bay and egg(s) for a binder!
     
  3. I've lived in Maryland and NO WAY would anyone originally from that state make crab cakes without Old Bay seasoning... just would never happen! I did make these and they were good, just not as good as real Maryland Crab Cakes. They were also hard for me to keep together so I added a beaten egg, some celery, and some more whole wheat bread (only kind I had) and some fresh parsley. Did enjoy the lemon juice as was different. Thanks for a different recipe but will stick to my old one and keep using my Old Bay.
     
  4. I'm used to the Old Bay Seasoning used almost exclusively here in MD. The aromatic seasoning adds more than flavor, it adds punch! Sorry, they were moist...but not Maryland Style!
     
  5. I couldn't see making these without Old Bay Seasoning - My Mother's family is from the eastern shore and they were always made with Old Bay there.....even when they just steam the crabs.

  1. I thought these were very nice crabcakes! I made them while vacationing in the Outer Banks. I used dry bread crumbs instead of the white bread (what I had on hand). They were moist and tasty. Cooked them on the George Foreman, after brushing with the oil. Thanks for posting!
