ANGELINA'S RESTAURANT CRAB CAKES - MARYLAND
This is the original as it appeared in the "Baltimore Sun" as a recipe request, recently. This was also printed many years ago, but has made a new a recent appearance again paralleling the closure of "Angelina' and subsequent auction of the restaurant. With the sale of the restaurant this crab cake recipe goes along with it. History as follows from Angelina's website. "In 1952, Angelina Tadduni and her family began a neighborhood Italian restaurant in a row home in northeast Baltimore. Building upon its local popularity, Bob and Carole Reilly purchased the restaurant in 1968 and added several essential features to the Angelina's legacy. Among these were a renowned Irish pub (the first to serve draught Guinness in Baltimore) and the finishing touches on the celebrated crab cake recipe. The success of this signature dish made Angelina's name famous far beyond the old neighborhood, and the crab cakes began accumulating a list of awards too lengthy to include here. Visitors from across the country came to Angelina's seeking the best known crab cakes in a city best known for crab cakes." "This recipe is straightforward and unadulterated and what you will get are authentic Maryland-style crab cakes. The real key to making good crab cakes is the use of top quality crab meat, and very little filler as possible. It's equally as important to be very careful with the fragile lumps, as you don't want to break up the lumps that provide the best formed crab cakes you will ever see, and without over-mixing. Enjoy this recipe as this is a Baltimore staple, and what a tradition it is.

Tips:
- For the freshest crab cakes, use fresh crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, frozen crab meat will also work, but thaw it completely before using.
- Be gentle when mixing the crab cakes. Overmixing will toughen them.
- Don't be afraid to add some Old Bay seasoning to the crab cakes. It gives them a classic Maryland flavor.
- Use a large skillet to cook the crab cakes so that they have plenty of room to brown.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the crab cakes. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the crab cakes over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
- Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, remoulade, or cocktail sauce.
Conclusion:
These crab cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. They're perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
