Coastal Cooking with John Shields, 2004. This is a nice working recipe for crab cake not as fancy as the previous one but it has all the instructions and serves the same amount of people. If you wish the other feel free to google because others have placed it on the net.

AUTHENTIC EASTERN SHORE MARYLAND CRAB CAKES



Authentic Eastern Shore Maryland Crab Cakes image

Living in Talbot County, MD for 25 years, I have sampled many an Eastern Shore crab cake. I would say the defining qualities are lump crab meat, very little filling, and Old Bay. No veggies! I have tried many recipes, but I finally gave up and asked my friend, the owner of a relative's cookbook from the 1800s, for her recipe. I had to do a couple of favors to get it, so I am saving it here so I don't lose it. The recipe doubles just fine.

Time 35m

Yield 6 cakes, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb lump crabmeat
2 tablespoons heavy cream (you may need to use a little more)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 cup breadcrumbs, crushed saltines (EnerG gluten free breadcrumbs also work well)
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Mix together all ingredients BUT the crab.
  • If the mixture seems a little dry, add more cream. You want cakes that are moist but firm enough to hold cakes together.
  • Fold in crab meat, making sure mixture is well-combined, but being careful not to break up the lumps too much.
  • Store in fridge for 1/2 hour or so.
  • Broil until first side is brown, then flip and do the same. (Some people like to pan fry or even deep fry. Just cook until browned).
