About Maryland crab cakes

Maryland crab cakes are a classic dish rooted in Chesapeake Bay cuisine, showcasing the region's prized blue crab. These flavorful patties typically consist of lump crab meat mixed with breadcrumbs or crackers, egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and a blend of seasonings like Old Bay, lending them their signature taste. They’re often pan-fried, baked, or broiled to golden perfection. Crab meat is a lean protein source rich in essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, and selenium. However, some recipes can be high in sodium and fat, depending on preparation methods and ingredients like mayo or butter. Served as an entrée or appetizer, Maryland crab cakes are a versatile delight, enjoyed with a side of fresh greens, remoulade sauce, or tartar sauce for balance. Their roots in seafood traditions make them a sought-after dish for coastal-inspired dining.
