Crab Cakes Recipe - How to Make Crab Cakes

[RyanDCH]

Just made these yesterday and they came out so amazing. Best crab cakes I've ever had in my life and you taught me how! Thank you Chef John! I also made your crab stuffed cornbread muffins and those did not disappoint either, though the cakes were my favorite by far.

I’ve been revisiting this recipe for over 10 years (back when adds didn’t have to interrupt the video). Tried & true baby! @foodwishes has BEEN that guy! Thank you.

Been watching your channel for about seven, eight years. Any time I look for a recipe, I always check food wishes to see if you have it first!

Made this today. My lady and I loved it. I recommend adding a bit more crumbs and leaving the mix in the freeze for 40 min. I had no problem forming them into Pattie’s and 80% of them actually stayed together during cooking

You can also refrigerate them for a little after you form them into cakes. This will keep them together before frying.

I’m in Maryland, which known for it’s ‘blue crab’.
I’m going back to the 60’s when my grandmother would do crab cakes. She would never use a ‘filler’ in her crab cakes. She would use 2 beaten eggs per pound of meat (a mixture of lump and pieces just as you did). To the beaten eggs a tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning, a tablespoon of parsley flakes. About a 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan, get it hot, form her patties, and fry each side. She only used the eggs as a binder.

I've noticed from watching at least 60 of Chef John's recipes that he really loves his salt, so keep that in mind when cooking directly from his videos!

*FINALLY!* A crab cake I can truly get behind! :D You recognize that a crab cake is supposed to be about 90-95% *CRAB!* :D

Haha "you cannot let the crab cake win" lol

Chef these crab meat cakes came out FANTASTIC. So delicate yet so tasty. I love them! High Def.. even better.

Looks so good. Love the 97% crab mixture. I had some crab cakes with too much cake before or the crab was too chopped up. Making your own chunky crab cakes is the only was to go I see.

Oh my, these look fabulous! Can't wait to make a batch of them this Memorial Day will go great with the New England clam chowder and clam boil. Thank you Chef John!

[Pureception]

Marylander here, Glad to see you included Old Bay! :D It's a must for any crab related recipe!

[kokomal]

Another great recipe!  As always, nice humor. "Don't let the crab cake win" ha ha

This looks amazing; it is so aggravating not living by the coast when you do recipes like this. Living here in Colorado it is tough to find good Crab, and when you do the price is outrageous.

[MisfitsFiendClub]

Chef John is spot on with this one. Foundation of ANY great crab cake is it must be almost entirely crab meat. So many times disappointed at restaurants that use too much bread crumbs.

My favorite recipe!!! Thanks man I’ve been using this for over 7 years!!!
