When I was in college in Baltimore Maryland I would eat crabcakes every chance I had. So it was only natural I had to learn how to make them. One of my very very favorites and someday I will get them right.

My Mom loves crab cakes...will have to give these a try!


Have just printed this recipe as I'm making this for supper tonite.


Made these last night and they were really good. I added a little cayenne pepper and about 1 tsp shredded lemon peel.


A winner!

Replace the bread crumbs with crushed crackers, and omit the italian seasoning that was on the bread crumbs. For the seafood seasoning, it HAS to be Old Bay for them to be authentic MD Crab Cakes. Everything else is pretty spot on though :)
