Creative Crab Cakes

If you haven’t been able to tell, we’re kind of a big crab cake deal. We love our crab cakes and so do our customers, they’re our #1 best seller! 

We perfected our crab cake mix years ago, following our award winning recipe, to the ’t’, every day. Yet, every now and again, we get a crab cake craving for something a little different. And, when those cravings hit, we get creative. 

So, in this article, we’ll be sharing some of our wild and crazy (and delicious) crab cake recipes. Our creative crab cakes are not complicated, we simply throw in a few additions to our existing mix and voilà, something tasty and new! 

Before we proceed be sure to stock up on our crab cake mix! These crab cakes are truly amazing…made fresh every morning and with fresh Maryland jumbo lump crab meat. Each of these combinations uses 8oz of our crab cake mix.
