Maryland Crab Cakes, Chesapeake Crab Cakes. (American)

crab meat, breadcrumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, mustard

Crab cakes are a classic American seafood dish most closely associated with the Chesapeake Bay region, especially Maryland. They are made by combining lump crab meat with minimal filler and binding ingredients, then forming the mixture into patties that are pan-fried or baked until golden. Known for their delicate texture and emphasis on the natural sweetness of the crab, traditional versions aim to use as little filler as possible, allowing the seafood to remain the focal point.
