AUTHENTIC EASTERN SHORE MARYLAND CRAB CAKES
Living in Talbot County, MD for 25 years, I have sampled many an Eastern Shore crab cake. I would say the defining qualities are lump crab meat, very little filling, and Old Bay. No veggies! I have tried many recipes, but I finally gave up and asked my friend, the owner of a relative's cookbook from the 1800s, for her recipe. I had to do a couple of favors to get it, so I am saving it here so I don't lose it. The recipe doubles just fine.

Steps:
- Mix together all ingredients BUT the crab.
- If the mixture seems a little dry, add more cream. You want cakes that are moist but firm enough to hold cakes together.
- Fold in crab meat, making sure mixture is well-combined, but being careful not to break up the lumps too much.
- Store in fridge for 1/2 hour or so.
- Broil until first side is brown, then flip and do the same. (Some people like to pan fry or even deep fry. Just cook until browned).

Steps:
- In a medium-size bowl, thoroughly combine the eggs, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice crab seasoning, parsley, mayonnaise and mustards.
- Place the crabmeat in a large bowl gently fold in the breadcrumbs and the egg mixture so as not to break up the lumps. Shape into 12 slightly flattened balls and chill for at least 1 hour.
- To fry the crab cakes:
- Pour oil into the skillet to a depth of about 1 1/2 inches. Heat the oil to 370° and fry the crab cakes, a couple at a time, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spatula to paper towels to drain.
- To broil:
- Place crab cakes under a preheated broiler, turning to cook evenly, until nicely browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Serve with soda crackers and tartar sauce.
EASTERN SHORE CRAB CAKES
Steps:
- Place the crabmeat in a mixing bowl. Pick it with a fork and check to see that all the cartilage is removed. Add the egg, mayonnaise and mustard. Toss lightly together, using the fork so as not to shred the crabmeat too much.
- Add the seafood seasoning, parsley, minced onion, bread crumbs and grated lemon zest. Toss together lightly.
- Melt the butter over medium-high heat. Scoop up enough crab mixture to make a plump pattie about five inches in diameter. Place the crabcakes in the skillet and fry for three minutes or until a golden brown crust forms on the bottom. Flip the crabcakes over and continue to fry on the other side for another three or four minutes.
- Serve the crab cakes on soft hamburger buns or simply with a spoonful of tartar sauce.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly coat 6 large scallop shellswith nonstick cooking spray or, if you prefer, lightly coat a 6-cup au gratin pan or shallow casserole; set aside. Place the crab in a medium-size mixing bowl and set aside also.
- 2. Tear the bread into small chunks, letting them drop into a mini food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade. Using 3 to 4 brisk pulses, reduce to moderately coarse crumbs. Drizzle the melted butter over all and pulse 2 to 3 times to incorporate. The crumbs should now be moderately fine. Tip onto a piece of wax paper and reserve.
- 3. Add the parsley, salt, black pepper, and cayenne to the processor (no need to wash the bowl or blade), and pulse briskly 3 to 5 times until the parsley is coarsely chopped.
- 4. Add the mayonnaise and mustard and churn until smooth, about 5 seconds. Scoop on top of the crab and toss lightly to mix.
- 5. Mound the crab mixture in the scallop shells or spread evenly in the augratin dish, and scatter the buttered crumbs on top.
- 6. Bake uncovered on the middle oven rack until bubbling and touched with brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
- 7. Serve at once, accompanying with a tartly dressed salad of greens. Roasted asparagus spears also make a delicious accompaniment.

Steps:
- Pick over the crab to remove any tough pieces of shell or cartilage. Leave the crab meat in as large lumps as possible. Put the crab meat in a mixing bowl.
- Put the cornflakes in the container of a food processor or electric blender and blend to make the flakes as fine as possible.
- Blend the mustard, egg, salt, pepper, mayonnaise and parsley. Spoon and scrape this over the crab. Sprinkle with the crumbs and blend gently but thoroughly. Divide the mixture into six portions of equal size.
- Lay out six squares or rectangles of plastic wrap, one at a time on a flat surface. Put one portion of crab mixture in the center. Fold the sides of the plastic wrap over to neatly and compactly enclose the crab mixture. Flatten each portion to make six crab cakes, each about an inch thick or slightly less. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat the oil in a skillet to a depth of about half an inch. If necessary, add more oil. Heat to a temperature of 350 degrees. It may be best to cook the crab cakes in two batches. Cook each batch for two and one-half minutes, total cooking time, turning the cakes once. They should be golden brown on both sides. Drain on absorbent toweling. Serve with tartar sauce on the side.

- Combine the eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, Old Bay, salt, celery, and parsley in a large bowl and mix well. Add the crab meat (be sure to check the meat for any hard and sharp cartilage) and panko; using a rubber spatula, gently fold the mixture together until just combined, being careful not to shred the crab meat. Shape into 6 cakes (each about ½ cup) and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps them set.
- Preheat a large nonstick pan over medium heat and coat with oil. When the oil is hot, place the crab cakes in the pan and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Be careful as oil may splatter. Serve the crab cakes warm with the tartar sauce.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, relish, mustard, onion, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
