About Crab cake

Crab cakes are a flavorful seafood dish originating from the coastal regions of the United States, particularly Maryland. These savory patties are made with lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, and a blend of seasonings like Old Bay, mustard, and fresh herbs. Often pan-fried or baked, crab cakes feature a crispy exterior and tender, flaky interior. Packed with protein, vitamins like B12, and omega-3 fatty acids from the crab meat, they offer a host of nutritional benefits. However, their calorie and fat content can vary depending on cooking methods and added ingredients like mayonnaise or frying oil. Opting for baked versions with whole-grain breadcrumbs and minimal added fats can make them a healthier choice. Whether served on their own, atop salads, or in a sandwich, crab cakes are a delicious way to enjoy the rich, natural taste of fresh seafood.
