Crabcakes are a popular seafood dish originating from American coastal regions, particularly Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay area. These savory patties are made by combining crabmeat, often blue crab, with breadcrumbs or cracker crumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, and a medley of seasonings such as Old Bay or parsley. They are typically pan-fried, baked, or deep-fried, resulting in a crispy exterior and tender, flavorful center. Crabcakes are a rich source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function. However, their nutritional value can vary based on preparation methods; fried versions may be higher in fat and calories compared to baked ones. While often enjoyed with tartar sauce or lemon wedges, those looking for a lighter option can pair them with fresh greens or a vegetable-based side to balance the dish.
