DELAWARE BAY CRAB CAKES



Delaware Bay Crab Cakes image

Almost all crabmeat. The sweetness of the crabmeat stands out. I don't recommend frying because they may fall apart. I usually make 6 medium size, but you could also make small ones for an appetizer.

CLASSIC OLD BAY CRAB CAKES



Classic OLD BAY Crab Cakes image

Trivia players, take note: this is the original recipe that appeared on the back of the OLD BAY can. (It's a keeper.) Baking powder makes the crab cakes light and fluffy, while OLD BAY Seasoning adds personality. Serves four lucky folks, unless you're feeling generous and want to make them into mini crab cakes to serve as appetizers.
