My husband and I met in Annapolis, Maryland... home of the very best crabs and crab cakes that you can find and we miss them terribly. We have found some really good crab cakes here at The Piano Cafe in Milton, but I decided yesterday that in celebration of Travis finishing his flights in the Bravo and graduating up to the Charlie that I would treat him to home made crab cakes. I guess I was feeling adventurous.
After perusing the web for a long time and looking at numerous recipes, I actually went for Martha's. I had all of the ingredients, minus the crab, and it seemed like it would work well, not too much filler. I headed up to Joe Patti's fish market in Pensacola, my new favorite place, and purchased a pound of lump crab meat and some cole slaw. I baked these puppies up and served them for dinner. The cole slaw was really good and the crab cakes were tasty. I think next time, I will back off the salt some. With the Old Bay and salt, they were a little salty, but definitely edible. After a little tweaking, I think that I could pull off great crab cakes next time.
