Crab cakes are always in the appetizers sections of fancy seafood restaurants. So a lot of people are intimidated to make them at home. DON'T BE. They're so easy—literally anyone can do it. Here's everything you need to know. 

Best-Ever Crab Cakes

mayonnaise

egg,

Dijon mustard

Worcestershire sauce

hot sauce

Kosher salt

black pepper

lb. jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells

c. panko bread crumbs (or saltines)

Canola oil,

Lemon wedges,

Tartar sauce,

I just made these! I also added the Old Bay seasoning. I chilled before frying. They turned out perfect and delicious!

Very delicious recipe! Added some Old Bay Seasoning to the mixture and made remoulade sauce to go with it. Thank you for this simple and yummy recipe.

Super easy recipe and delicious results! Thank you

This was a great recipe.  My crab cakes were delicious! Thanks

Very good recipe for a quick crab cake! My only adjustment was instead of hot sauce, I used a dry Cajun spice, and I didn't have fresh parsley so I used dried.

So good! All the flavors come together beautifully  and the texture is great. Easy and quick recipe.

I’m not an adventurous cook and I made these. Delicious!

Made these for the first time yesterday for my son’s birthday celebration. I followed all ingredients but used Old Bay seasoning as mentioned in one of the other reviews. My family and friends enjoyed. I can’t wait until our next function to treat them again with such a tasty dish!

I made these last night with the recipe above and added: green onions, old bay, and mozzarella pearls. Cooked in the airfryer for about 15 minutes (turning cooked for 3 more) to make sure it was crispy on both sides. My first time and the came out great!

I made a lemon garlic aioli in place of tartar sauce. The crab cakes are delicious!

I generally followed this recipe. When I saw 2 TBSP of Dijon, I knew immediately I wasn’t going to like that;, only added 1 TBSP and I think that was a bit too much. I also added some finely chopped green onion and grated Parmesan to the crab mixture and a big squeeze of lemon juice to the liquids.  My husband &amp; I liked the recipe after my adjustments, but as I said probably would cut back even more on the mustard. I saw the suggestions on the Old Bay, but with the Worcestershire, mustard, and hot sauce, I was thinking that could over power the crab so I didn’t add that, which I think was a good decision.

The recipe is very easy. I used 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning along with saute onions take this dish to another level for me. The crab cakes were moist and full of favor. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

I made this and added a pinch of old bay. Also put in the oven on 350 for 5 mins after done cooking. Perfect recipe !

Best recipe so delicious added some roasted garlic

Excellent recipe. Since I serve mine with rémoulade sauce, I’m delighted not to have Old Bay fighting with it.  I have successfully subbed crushed saltines when I was out of Pablo.

Absolutely perfect!  Thanks for such a great recipe!

Best Ever is correct!
This is my second attempt at making crab cakes. First attempt left a LOT to be desired. This recipe is a definite keeper! 
  I do not like mayonnaise but my husband does, so I used it. I must say that I think it adds great flavor and moistness. 
  Unfortunately, my Dijon mustard had spoiled, so I used 2 tsp. dry mustard. The other problem was we don't ever use hot sauce, so I decided to substitute 1 tsp. Old Bay. Other than that, I stayed true to the recipe. 
   My husband loved them. He very rarely compliment s my cooking , but one bite and he said  they were good.
    This is a definite keeper recipe. All I need to do is boot up my computer so I can print it!

Nice recipe I used honey mustard and added old bay crab cakes was awesome

By far this is the best crab cake recipe - I have tried many but this is the one I always go to . My husband and friends agree . I’m actually making them tonight !

An egg is the organic vessel containing the zygote in which an animal embryo develops until it can survive on its own, at which point the animal hatches. An egg results from fertilization of an ovum.

I made this tonight for dinner.  The flavor was fantastic.  My husband raved about it and said that this is the best crab cakes he has tasted.  Thank you for the recipe.  I did skip the siracha because I didn't have any.  It was fantastic without it.

Excellent. Added more sriracha for extra kick!

I made these with fresh Dungeness crab and Panko bread crumbs.  They were fantastic!
Note:  The California Dungeness crab season begins next week.

Hi from Australia, these were nom-nom so-good! I used a mixture of Blue Swimmer crab and Tiger prawns and I will be making these again and again. Thank you so much! 🇦🇺

This is our go-to crab cake recipe. It makes incredible crab cakes! We serve them with a cocktail/mayo sauce.

Had left over crabs from a crab boil. Pealed them and used the meat to make these crab cakes. My family loved them.

I made these for company the other evening, they were easy and delicious!

I have made this a few times and they are the best!  I have used the canned shredded crab, but the canned lump crab meat is so good! The only extra ingredient I add in is garlic.  Bon Appétit!

Maryland Style Crab Cake Recipe

BLUE crab meat

Worcestershire

Old Bay Seasoning (, plus more for garnish)

bread crumbs

egg (lightly beaten)

Dab the 2 pounds jumbo lump BLUE crab meat with paper towels to get out excess moisture. Try not to break apart any of the large crab meat lumps. 

In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. 

Add the crab meat, 1 cup Panko bread crumbs and lightly beaten 1 large egg. Toss lightly using your fingers until just moist, again, trying to not break apart any crab meat lumps. If it isn&#39;t sticking, add more panko slowly until it binds. Carefully form 8 jumbo crab cakes or 16 crab balls.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease. Place the crab cakes on baking sheet. 

Preheat the broiler to high heat. Place 4-5 inches from heating element. Broil until lightly brown on top, approximately 7-8 minutes.

I only made with 1 lb of crabmeat so I halved the ingredients and put my little spin on them. Delicious 😋 
It was quick and easy to gather ingredients.

Good recipe but it missed the celery &amp; pinch of parsley.

Excellent recipe. My husband is from Maryland, and he approves!

I've tried different recipes, here and there, and I believe I've now found the one! This recipe hits all the hallmarks of a true Maryland crabcake. Thank you for sharing!

Oops, forgot to fill in the stars from my previous post.

I no longer live in Maryland and really wanted crab cakes. Made these for dinner last night when my son and his new bride were visiting us. She has never had crab cakes before and we wanted her to understand what we were telling her about. These were the best crab cakes I have ever made! The only substitution I made was using gluten free bread crumbs because my son is allergic to gluten.

Amazing! Being from Baltimore I am very picky and this is the closest to Maryland Crab Cakes that you can make and furthermore buy here in the South! Yummy 😋

I have made these and they are delicious and am making them again today
