Local Baltimore Crab Cakes Recipes

When we set out to make the "best" crab cakes, opinions in the test kitchen were strong and varied. But we could all agree on plenty of fresh, high-quality crabmeat with very little filler. After some tinkering, we created these decadent cakes-generously sized and highly seasoned-with plenty of lemon juice, fresh herbs and spices. The jumbo lump crabmeat is front and center, so splurge on the best and freshest you can find.

This recipe originated from several friends who attended a cooking demo from a local restaurant. Relying on memory only (since there were no written instructions), I received from my friends multiple versions of what ingredients and measurements were used. Needless to say, this recipe tastes nothing like the restaurant's version...

Crab cakes are so popular in Baltimore, they're even sold at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Use lettuce instead of a bun, and serve with a squeeze of lemon.

This is a classic crab cake inspired by those that were served at Obrycki's Crab House, a rollicking fish restaurant in a former row house on East Pratt Street in Baltimore. They are simply delicious.

Any purported Maryland or Baltimore crab cake recipe that contains Dijon mustard or Worcestershire sauce is about as authentic as Omaha Style crab cakes. Don't be sold a bill of goods! This is the real deal. This recipe has stood the test of time at any number of Baltimore eateries. Its roots are from the Rennert Hotel (long before Old Bay was marketed as a packaged spice blend - restaurant chefs made their own Maryland-style seafood spice blends before the 1940's). This version comes from Walker - Hasslinger's famed Charles Street restaurant during the early 1950's (my grandmother worked there as a line cook for many years). They used a local spice blend called "J.O.," which is still produced, but is not available outside of Baltimore. Their crab cake, like any true Baltimore crab cake, was either broiled or pan-fried in clarified butter, and NEVER deep fried.

This is the original as it appeared in the "Baltimore Sun" as a recipe request, recently. This was also printed many years ago, but has made a new a recent appearance again paralleling the closure of "Angelina' and subsequent auction of the restaurant. With the sale of the restaurant this crab cake recipe goes along with it. History as follows from Angelina's website. "In 1952, Angelina Tadduni and her family began a neighborhood Italian restaurant in a row home in northeast Baltimore. Building upon its local popularity, Bob and Carole Reilly purchased the restaurant in 1968 and added several essential features to the Angelina's legacy. Among these were a renowned Irish pub (the first to serve draught Guinness in Baltimore) and the finishing touches on the celebrated crab cake recipe. The success of this signature dish made Angelina's name famous far beyond the old neighborhood, and the crab cakes began accumulating a list of awards too lengthy to include here. Visitors from across the country came to Angelina's seeking the best known crab cakes in a city best known for crab cakes." "This recipe is straightforward and unadulterated and what you will get are authentic Maryland-style crab cakes. The real key to making good crab cakes is the use of top quality crab meat, and very little filler as possible. It's equally as important to be very careful with the fragile lumps, as you don't want to break up the lumps that provide the best formed crab cakes you will ever see, and without over-mixing. Enjoy this recipe as this is a Baltimore staple, and what a tradition it is.
