SkinzFan007 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I'm looking for a really good crab cake recipe. I had a bushel of crabs yesterday and today I am picking through whats left for meat. I love crab cakes but am not a fan of fried. So anyone with a good baked or broiled crab cake recipe feel free to share. I'm all ears. Thanks.

flyingtiger1013 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 1 pound lump crabmeat 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 2 tablespoons spicy mustard 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs 1 teaspoon minced red jalapeno pepper 1 teaspoon minced green jalapeno pepper 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves 1 tablespoon chopped chives 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 medium lemon, juiced 1/2 medium orange, juiced 1 tablespoon olive oil Salad, for serving, recipe follows Avocado Mousse, recipe follows Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Pick through crabmeat to make sure it has no shells. Stir in mayonnaise and mustard. Add 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs, red and green jalapenos, thyme, chives, salt, and pepper and mix in thoroughly. Add the lemon juice and orange juice and stir to combine. Line a (1/2-cup) measuring cup with plastic wrap and pack cup with crab mixture. Pull plastic wrap so that molded crab mixture can be easily removed and place on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Repeat until all of the mixture has been molded into cakes. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of bread crumbs on a plate and mix with olive oil. Sprinkle a little of this mixture on top of each crab cake. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.

NavyDave Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I'm definately a consumer not a chef in the crab cake department. Mrs ND makes a helluva good seafood pasta with crab and other stuff, but its go to her girlfriends house or to the restaraunt for crab cake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may consider a quick fry (stove top) and then finish in the oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinzFan007 Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 Do you use the same recipe for the quick fry? I assume its less time in the oven with the quick fry first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingtiger1013 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I would probably try a little more mayo (for binding) and back the baking time down to 5-6 minutes. You can try a small one to help you figure out the time. Here is another one that calls for broiling the crab cakes. Sounds yummy. 1 egg yolk 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon dry mustard 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon mayonnaise 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 1 pound Maryland jumbo lump crab meat Preheat the broiler. In a large bowl, combine the egg yolk, salt, pepper, mustard, Worcestershire, mayonnaise, and parsley. Then, gently fold in crabmeat (be careful not to break up the lumps). Shape into cakes and broil for 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHUBAKAH Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I use two different ones. There is one on the side of an Old Bay can which is almost exact to Huly's dads. The other comes from wynne river company which you just add mayo, and a bottle of their seasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCS Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Whoa. I had no idea that when I got off work today that I was hungry for crab cakes. "click" "print" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Originally posted by spanishomelette That Old Bay recipe is more than sufficient...Love it. That is the recipe I use and I think it is great. Best crap I ever had was the "Crab Bomb" in a restaurant I think called Jerry's in Laurel MD. It is the only shelled crab dish that ever tasted just like if you cooked a bushel and cracked them yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add crab meat and mix gently by thoroughly. If mixture is too dry, add a little more mayonnaise. Shape into 6 cakes. Cook cakes in a frying pan in just enough fat to prevent sticking until they are browned (about 5 minutes on each side). *Note: If desired, crab cakes may be deep fried at 350 degrees for 2 to 3 minutes or until browned.
