I’ve made this recipe TWICE, and it is an absolute

Your imitation of Chef John was spot on.

Sir, this is, without a doubt, the best, most accurate recipe for a Maryland crab cake. One minor complaint though…I would use ritz cracker crumbs instead of panko. I prefer Dijon mustard but yellow is more authentic. Either way, you killed it. Thank you, & God bless.

I can honestly say, these are in fact, absolutely amazing. Simple no bullshit just ingredient quality at its best. Awesome. Try them. And add your sauce to them, you won’t regret it. Pro-picky eater here, has my seal of approval 👍 👌

These remind me of the crab cakes at Big Fish Grill In Rehoboth Beach (which are my favorite) but double in size!
