I’m definitely a crab person! But I like crab in shell, cracking, digging and sucking all the meat and juices out!

These look very good. I’m trying it when friends from Texas come to town. But i’m adding 1 tbsp of Tobasco Green Pepper Sauce in subsitution to the garlic sauce to give it a little extra zing. It’s not as hot as the red sauce and has a much more mellow flavor.
And I’m in Washington state so I have to use Dungoness crabs instead. But when I get back to the East Coast I’ll be back to the land of the beautiful Blue Crab.

Made this last week and used the extra crab and old rice to make crab fried rice. It was delicious. We mix sriracha with Kewpie mayo to serve with the crab cakes. Love this recipe, a definite keeper.

you’re missing the old bay. It’s not a MD crabcake without it!!! From a born and raised Marylander!!

Great job for a “West-Coaster” ;>)

Your recipe is right up there with our best old-Baltimore “secret recipes” for the Beautiful Blue. Oh, and your photos are super.

PS: I like your chili sauce idea, but I’ll pass on the cilantro.

Donald, I love lobster too, but I'm just a little more partial to crab meat. Blue crabs, beer, corn on the cob at a wooden table covered newspapers... great memories, good times! You brought up a good point about gently folding the crab to keep the lumps. Lydia, panko rocks! I substitute panko for regular breadcrumbs as much as possible. Patricia, I'm glad you are a crab person, but you have to give lobster a try! Jon, I would love to get the list of healthy foods from your dad. CC, crabs rule! But if someone offered me a lobster roll with some cilantro, I would happily devour it too!

Perfect! I was just thinking the other day that I need a new crab cake recipe to switch things up from the traditional and I am a cilantro NUT! Thanks!

Oh, and I agree with you—I’m a crab person too!
