CLASSIC CRAB CAKES

Our region is known for good seafood, and crab cakes are a traditional favorite. I learned to make them from a chef in a restaurant where they were a bestseller. The crabmeat's sweet and mild flavor is sparked by the blend of other ingredients. -Debbie Terenzini, Lusby, Maryland

CHEF JOHN'S CRAB CAKES

These are what crab cakes are supposed to be like. They are basically a fried lump of crabmeat, held together with a minimum of filler. Delicious!

SASSY'S CRAB CAKES

So yummy! This recipe is a result of 4 different cook's trying to make the perfect crab cake that would hold up in a busy music cafe but still be authentic. Serve as small appetizers or throw some coleslaw on a kaiser bun with a larger sized one and you will have a delicious sandwich. I always make my own breadcrumbs but purchased will work fine. Try these with my cucumber dill sauce for a refreshing different taste!

Steps:

  • Add the yolk, Old Bay, mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vinegar to the bowl of a food processor or blender; process until smooth.
  • Gradually pour in the oil with the machine running until the mixture emulsifies and forms a mayonnaise.
  • Season with the salt and pepper (this quantity of mayonnaise will not emulsify in the bowl of the largest food processor; use a medium food processor, a mini processor, or a blender).
  • Transfer the mayonnaise to a bowl and, using a rubber spatula, fold in the scallions and the crabmeat until well combined.
  • Combine the bread crumbs and the parsley in a shallow container.
  • Form the crab mixture into 8 patties about 3 inches wide and 3/4 inch thick and drop them into the bread crumb mixture.
  • Dredge the crab cakes on both sides; if you have time, leave the crab cakes in the container of bread crumbs, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for an hour or so.
  • When you are ready to fry the crab cakes, put 2 large nonstick skillets over medium heat.
  • Add about 2 tablespoons butter to each pan; when the butter is melted, add 4 crab cakes to each pan, patting off excess crumbs first.
  • Slowly fry the cakes until they are golden brown on both sides and hot through, turning once with a spatula, about 4 minutes per side.
  • If the crab cakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat.
  • The internal temperature of a cooked crab cake should be 155° on an instant-read thermometer.
  • Transfer the crab cakes to plates, 2 per person, and serve with your choice of sauce and lemon wedges.

1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1/2 cup peanut oil or 1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced scallion, both white and green parts
1 lb lump blue crabmeat, drained and picked clean of shell
4 cups fresh breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, about
4 lemon wedges

CLASSIC CRAB CAKES

I searched the site, but even though there are 250+ crab cake recipes, I could not find one like this one. I got this recipe from the Stonewall Kitchen demo kitchen. I have made it once, and it is very simple, easy, and very tasty. Definitely make the mixture ahead and refrigerate - they stay together much better and cook up easier. Prep time includes refrigeration time. They served them with a remoulade sauce, but I served them with Stonewall Kitchen's Mango Habanero Aioli (Recipe #445347) - Yum!

CLASSIC OLD BAY CRAB CAKES

***Update: This is the Crab Cake recipe used for building the Nutty for New England Naughty but Nice Crab Burger for one of the challenges in the Spring 07 Zaar Tour world! I have lived most of my life near the Chesapeake Bay and spent many summers in Maryland as a child. This is the original recipe that was on the back of the Old Bay can. This version contains baking powder which helps make the crab cakes light and fluffy. We have always added a little lemon juice and browned them in butter which I feel really brings out the flavor and absolutely makes these. Try refrigerating the shaped patties 30 minutes to help keep them together when cooking, This is a Summertime favorite of ours served with Corn on the Cob and Coleslaw!
