Thanks,


I miss Maryland!!!!!! And MD crab. Thanks for the recipe.


Cool recipe.


Brought these to Ravens tailgate last Sunday - BIG hit! I took your advice and toned down the Old Bay just a bit because of the salt. Thanks for the recipe...GO RAVENS!


We usually do Crab Balls or Cakes every Sunday during the football season but lately we've been cheating using a short cut bag of seasonings and bread crumbs from the makers of Old Bay. Have you seen those yet down there on the shore?
