Maryland Crab Cakes The Real Deal Recipes

Growing up near the Chesapeake Bay you learn that crabs are as valuable as gold. My mom made crab cakes every Friday in the summer months, but I like my recipe just a tad better. Don't tell mom.

Any purported Maryland or Baltimore crab cake recipe that contains Dijon mustard or Worcestershire sauce is about as authentic as Omaha Style crab cakes. Don't be sold a bill of goods! This is the real deal. This recipe has stood the test of time at any number of Baltimore eateries. Its roots are from the Rennert Hotel (long before Old Bay was marketed as a packaged spice blend - restaurant chefs made their own Maryland-style seafood spice blends before the 1940's). This version comes from Walker - Hasslinger's famed Charles Street restaurant during the early 1950's (my grandmother worked there as a line cook for many years). They used a local spice blend called "J.O.," which is still produced, but is not available outside of Baltimore. Their crab cake, like any true Baltimore crab cake, was either broiled or pan-fried in clarified butter, and NEVER deep fried.

My mom made these when I was just a kid. Several years ago, DH took his first post-retirement job as Seafood Supervisor in a local grocery chain, made these for the seafood department, and the word spread, so that they were taking phone orders for "HIS" crab cakes ! The owner told him that Matzo Meal in place of the bread crumbs works very well due to the soda cracker addition.

"According to "Ye Marland Chronicle" written for the Baltimore Sunday Sun in 1933, the Maryland crab was the main reason for Captain John Smith's visit to Chesapeake Bay in 1607. Crab bakes were first eaten by Lord Baltimore in 1634. The Imperial Crab was created in honor of Queen Herietta Marie." - Seafood Marketing Authority, Division of Marketing Development, Department of Economic and Community Development 2525 Riva Road, Annapolis, MD 21401
