My World Famous No Filler Crab Cake Recipe
Every restaurant at the shore has their own signature way of making crab crakes. Being that i’ve visited most of the sea-side restaurants in Cape May Country, I've had my fill on who I think makes it the best. (I will not share those details)
Over the years ive learned how to protect this recipe and have been serving it up to family and friends during their stops by the shore house or during the Holidays. Today I am going to let you in on the secret to this delectable culinary delight.
Crab cakes showcase the essence of coastal cuisine. Crafted from succulent crab meat, these patties are a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. A crispy, golden-brown exterior gives way to a tender, luscious interior, rich with the sweetness of the crab.
Some restaurants try their hardest to give you a good crab cake but sometimes add a bit too much filler which kind of ruins it.
This recipe will use practically no filler in it. Some kind of breadcrumbs are needed just as a way to keep the crab cakes together.
Not only will this taste good but it is so easy to make that you can make these quickly. This recipe will make you 6 1/2 cup-sized crab cakes.
For this recipe you will need.
1 large egg
2 Lemons - 1-2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus 1 sliced up for plating.
1/4 cup mayonnaise (I suggest not using the fat free, it changes the taste)
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 2 teaspoons dried)
2 teaspoons Yellow mustard
1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning (up to 1 and 1/2 tablespoon for a kick)
1 pound fresh lump crab meat*
2/3 cup of Panko breadcrumbs
1/8 teaspoon salt
In a spacious bowl, combine the egg, mayonnaise, parsley, mustard, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly. It’s going to look at bit yellow and reddish at the same time but trust the process.
Arrange the crab meat on the top layer, then add the panko breadcrumbs. Using a rubber spatula, delicately blend the components, ensuring an even mixture throughout.
I suggest just using your hands and go slow. If you go too fast you could break up the crab meat into small pieces which defeats the purpose of making these.
If you're a protectionist like me, you will want a circle 1/2 plastic measuring cup so that each crab cake is perfectly circle. (yes my wife hates that haha)
Use the measuring cup to form the crab cakes and place them on a baking pan.
Pre-heat the oven to 450. Once pre-heated bake the crab cakes on the top shelf for 12-16 minutes.
For the last 2 minutes throw them on broil to bring out that brown.
Once they are down take them out and let them sit for 5 minutes before plating them.

Shopping List:
Slider Rolls (optional)
1 lb Lump and/or Jumbo Lump Crab Meat
1/2 cup mayo
1 egg
1 tbs dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp hot sauce
1 lemon
1 tbs sweet pickle juice
1 pinch of sugar (as needed)
Old Bay (to taste)
chopped parsley
20-25 saltine crackers (crushed into crumbs) - 1 sleeve of crackers
salt & pepper
Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato (optional for slider)
Tartar Sauce:
1/2 cup mayo
1/4 cup sweet relish
1/2 shallot diced
2 tbsp capers (optional)
1 tbsp white sugar
1 lemon
2 tbsps diced parsley
salt and pepper
Directions:
Crush your crackers into bread crumbs. In a large mixing bowl, make your sauce by combining the mayo, worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, lemon juice, sweet pickle juice, dijon mustard, and seasoning. Mix to combine and season to taste. After tasting and adjusting, whisk in 1 egg. Next, fold in your crab meat carefully, so that you do not break apart the large chunks of crab meat. Next, begin to fold in the bread crumbs a little at a time. Once the crab cake mixture holds together, place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Next, preheat oven to 450. Add foil to a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Melt 1/2 stick of butter in the microwave. Form crab mixture into desired size crab cakes and place on the baking sheet. Top with old bay and place into the oven for 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and baste with melted butter. Place under the broiler for 2-5 minutes to finish and brown the top. (Keep an eye on it so it doesn't brown too much)

Our Favorite Maryland Crab Cakes - How to Make the Best Homemade Crab Cakes
For the full Crab Cakes Recipe with ingredient amounts and instructions, please visit our recipe page on Inspired Taste:
Spending much of our childhood and young adult life in and around Maryland, we like to think we know a little when it comes to a great crab cake. We've enjoyed countless crab cakes and have come to the realization that our favorite is this one -- it's simple with few ingredients, little filler and tastes of sweet crab. When we're out at our favorite restaurants, we usually get three options for how the crab cake is cooked: fried, pan-seared and broiled. We hardly ever choose fried, but often go for pan-seared or broiled. We show you how to do both in our video. Enjoy!
Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed this video, we’ve got lots more. Visit our YouTube Channel at to see them and Subscribe to keep up to date with new video uploads. - Joanne and Adam

We also try to make each video easy to fast forward and rewind.We make everything in our own kitchen so we know you can too. We frequently include alternative methods and ingredient substitutions in our recipes to accommodate for different diets and the equipment you may (or may not) have at home. It isn't always the easiest to keep the video short while also including exact ingredient amounts along with all of the possible substitutions and variations.It's important to us that everyone can successfully make our recipes so we like to have all the information you need all in one place, which is in the full recipe on our blog. This also makes sure that viewers that stumble onto our YouTube channel are aware of the in-depth information provided for each recipe on Inspired Taste. Happy Cooking!
