This delicious Maryland Crab Cake recipe is full of succulent lump crab meat and tasty seasonings! It makes the perfect appetizer or main dish for a special dinner! Ready in under 30 minutes!
My recipe was shared with me many years ago by my husband’s late uncle, who lived on the Chesapeake Bay and knew how to make the best crab cakes I’d ever tasted. This crab cake recipe is just exactly how I like them – full of lump crab meat with some savory seasonings and a little something to hold it all together. Serve plain or with your favorite remoulade, hollandaise, or cocktail sauce for a special dinner everyone will love.
Crab cakes can seem a bit intimidating to make, but they are actually very simple. With this delicious recipe, a gentle hand when mixing, and a little time to rest in the refrigerator, they turn out to be the best crab cakes!
