About Crab cakes
Crab cakes are a popular seafood delight, originating from the coastal regions of the United States, particularly Maryland. They are crafted using lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, egg, and a mix of seasonings like Old Bay or parsley to enhance flavor. Often pan-fried or baked, crab cakes offer a rich, savory taste with a tender texture. As a source of protein, crab meat provides essential nutrients like vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids, and selenium, which support heart health and brain function. However, traditional recipes can be high in calories and fat due to added mayonnaise, frying oils, and breadcrumbs. To enjoy a healthier version, consider baking instead of frying or using whole-grain breadcrumbs. Crab cakes are typically served as an appetizer or main dish, paired with fresh salads or tangy sauces, reflecting the vibrant seafood culture of American coastal cuisine.
