We even have a hard time finding them online unless you want to pay $7 apiece for what was $2 back in Baltimore. So we buy the can size, which Publix and sometimes the big Walmart will stock, but it doesn't have the recipe on the can.
Here's a packet.
Here's the Recipe
2 teaspoons of Old Bay
2 slices of white bread ripped up
2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon of yellow mustard
1 egg beaten
1 pound of lump crab meat
Mix it all up in a big bowl and then form crab cakes, my wife can usually make 6 to 8 and put then a pan in the refrigerator overnight. You can fry them in a frying pan, I use to do that and use the side burner on the grill outside because the seafood smell can be strong inside the house when cooking. You would flip them a couple of times, sometimes they will fall apart when frying if you're not careful.
Now we bake in the oven at 380 for 15 minutes and then the broiler for 2 minutes to brown the tops.
Take them out and eat with cole slaw and baked beans, sliced tomatoes, green onions. I like them on a hamburger bun with lettuce. I had one in Key West at Sloppy Joe's on a bun and it was delicious. You can put Lea & Perrins Worschestershire sauce on them if you like, I no longer do that. For lunch you'll have 1 or 2 and then the rest for later, put them in a container in the refrigerator. When your ready, put them on a plate and in the microwave for about 20 to 30 seconds.
I like it this way, on a bun with lettuce and tomato.
