Mcclellanville Crabcakes image

As served at Charleston's 82 Queen Restaurant. this recipe comes from the printed version as posted in The Taste of Charleston Restaurant recipes published in 2004. although the website for 82 queen now has a different version which adds more may and bread crumbs. but did not increase the amounts of crab meat thus yielding more crab cakes without as much crab meat in them. use which version suits your tastes. I prefer their originally shared recipe with more crab than filler.

These crab cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less cayenne pepper next time.

These crab cakes were good, but not great. The flavor was a bit bland and the texture was a bit too mushy. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

These crab cakes were absolutely delicious! The combination of flavors was perfect, and the texture was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I will definitely be making these again.
