Ingredients for Anne Arundel County Maryland Crab Cakes

How to Make Anne Arundel County Maryland Crab Cakes

  1. Gently combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the crab cakes tough.
  2. Form the mixture into 1/2-inch thick patties.
  3. Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Carefully place the crab cakes in the hot skillet and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary.
  5. Serve immediately. Enjoy these authentic Maryland crab cakes with your favorite sides, such as lemon wedges and a crisp salad.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
