BAKED MARYLAND LUMP CRAB CAKES

Having lived by the Chesapeake Bay on Kent Island, MD nearly my whole life, I was challenged to develop this authentic Maryland style crab cake about a year ago. Many people claim to have the true Maryland crab cake, but this one uses all lump meat with almost no filler added and tastes incredible! Let me know what you think!

FANCY LUMP CRAB CAKES WITH ROUMALADE SAUCE



Fancy Lump Crab Cakes With Roumalade Sauce image

After many attempts to find a good, reasonably priced crab cake here in West Central Fl right on the Gulf Coast I decided to try my hand at making one. Here was what I came up with on my first attempt. And also even with the high priced restaurant versions I've never had a roumalade sauce I cared for. Try not to use crab meat in a can. Usually the seafood department at the local grocery store will have crab meat in a plastic container that is fresher without the metallic taste

Time 40m

Yield 3 1/2 cup cakes, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 24

32 ounces fancy lump crabmeat (drained and rinsed)
1 stalk celery (finely minced)
2 tablespoons sweet onions (finely minced)
1 tablespoon paul prudhomme magic seafood seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry ground mustard
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
2 eggs (slightly beaten)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, plus
1 tablespoon Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, plus
1 teaspoon Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon Crystal hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Steps:

  • In medium sized bowl added your drained and rinsed fancy lump crab meat, finely minced celery, finely minced sweet onion, Paul Prudhomme Seafood Magic seasoning, ground dry mustard, parsley flakes and bread crumbs and loosely mix then sit off to the side.
  • In another medium sized bowl start adding your wet ingredients -- mayonnaise, lightly beaten eggs, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce and whisk together until there are no lumps. Then pour over crab mixture and mix well. Then sit off to the side while you make the Roumalade sauce.
  • To make the Roumalade sauce add all the ingredients until a bowl and mix well. Then sit off to the side while you form and cook your patties. You want the sauce to be room temp and not be cold. It won't hurt it to sit out for such a short period.
  • Add the 4 tablespoon canola oil (although extra virgin olive oil will work great -- I just had run out) Heat on medium high heat until it gets hot. While you are waiting for the oil to heat start making your patties. Just eyeball about 1/2 a cup of the crab mixture and form into a ball. Flatten the ball into about a 1/2 inch thick patty making sure all the edges are packed tight so you don't lose any parts. Add to the oil and cook on between medium and medium high heat for 10 minutes. Carefully turn over and cook on medium heat for an additional 10 minutes.
  • If you know how to drizzle then drizzle the Roumalade sauce over and around the patty and your plate will look really nice and fancy. But if you're like me just place a dollop of the Roumalade sauce on the patty and place a little dollop on the side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, frozen crab meat will work in a pinch.
  • Don't overmix the crab cakes. Overmixing the crab cakes will make them tough. Gently fold the ingredients together until they are just combined.
  • Use a light hand when forming the crab cakes. The crab cakes should be gently formed, not tightly packed. This will help them to stay moist and tender.
  • Pan-fry the crab cakes over medium heat. Pan-frying the crab cakes over medium heat will help them to cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Crab cakes are traditionally served with tartar sauce, but you can also serve them with any other dipping sauce that you like.

Conclusion:

Crab cakes are a delicious and versatile seafood dish. They can be served as an appetizer, main course, or even as a snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make crab cakes at home. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish to impress your friends and family, give crab cakes a try.
