Golden Brown Crab Cakes steal the show!
The Chesapeake Bay Experience includes Maryland Crab Cakes packed with lump and backfin meat. Flaky and easy to create a 5 oz. cake, lump meat from the center of the crab in the two main body halves bind together majestically. The back swimming legs boast two large crab chunks that can adorn the outside of the cake for a “restaurant style cake.” Simply using lump meat is considered a “pub style cake.” Both cakes broil to perfection with a “finisher on a hot skillet. Take on the challenge to set the stage to impress with the plating and a taste that boasts salty sweetness with a buttery robust finish. Light and moist will certainly receive applause from the blue crab fans.
When mixing the ingredients, focus on the crab house signature special’s menu: “Now Serving a Genuine Maryland Crab Cake.” Now it’s your specialty! Of course, you can load your cart with Crab Depot’s signature cakes or get your hands on the crab house’s freshly picked meat for your recipe. Captain Greg recommends the following ingredients for whisking: Dijon mustard, grounded black pepper, free range eggs, creamy mayonnaise, Old Bay, and fresh parsley. These additions serve as “costars” to the main act: genuine blue crab meat.
Time for the main act. Fold in the crab meat with crushed crackers. Practice gentleness when handling the meat since larger chunks make the “crab cake show” most excellent! Here’s the lowdown. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Pack the mix with an ice cream scooper and place on a greased cooking sheet and then broil for 15 minutes. Finish in a medium-heated skillet to achieve a golden brown. One minute per side will do the trick and then press down with a spatula for the hockey puck goal. No matter what else you serve for your event, the golden-brown crab cake will steal the show!
