Blue Fin restaurant did a good job last time I ordered crab cakes there. However, if you're looking for Maryland-style crab cakes, I've never found them around here. A restaurant in Lake Eustis advertises Maryland-style crab cakes. Close but no gold medal. Old Bay and lump, back fin crab meat are the essentials typically missing in crab cakes made locally.

Wolfgang Puck has a lump crab meat appetizer that is excellent. Zero filler. The premium crab cakes at Fresh Market are very good.

If you're looking for Maryland crab cakes there are a couple places that ship overnight. Same with Lobster from Maine. But that's probably another discussion

On a few occasions I have bought three crabcakes at Publix, and then bought an 8 ounce container of crab meat to add to them. I mix them all together and add a little bit of crabcake seasoning mix and maybe some scallions and a little mayo if needed and it makes four really nice size crabcakes.

I've made my own so many times. With canned or fresh lump crab meat; in Oregon, I used Dungeness crab meat in season.

I just catch my own Chesapeake blue crabs, steam them and make my own crab cakes. Doesn't get any better.

Dont buy the so called "Maryland crab cakes" from Fresh Market. They taste NOTHING like the Maryland crab cakes I ate while living there.

I always get crab cakes at the light house in Lsl. They are delish and it's a meal for 2 days for me at least.

The Lump Crab Cakes from Fresh Market are delicious. Be sure to BAKE not pan fry. Often they go on sale for 2/$12. Fresh Market has their own brand of seafood sauce that is very good, also. I don't care for the Maryland Style.

We also do not have access to New Orleans, Charleston, Gulf Coast style. "Mild, sweet" Lump crab, butter, seasoning. Delicate. Delicious!!!

Yes backfin, lump, from BLUE crabs in Maryland. Boy do I miss that! Annie's in Kent Island were best!

Best Maryland crab cakes at the whale tail in Mount Dora. They know what Old Bay is for starters. Closest thing to Maryland crab cakes I have found. That is spelled tale tale whale tale.

Fresh Market has the premium crab cakes on sale 2 for $10 now and then. I stock up then. Are ok. Don’t bother with the cheaper “Maryland “ ones. Some new places listed here. Will try!!! We so miss our steamed crabs and decent crab cakes, crab soup, etc! The restaurants here don’t know how to prepare a crab cake.

Old time Diner In Leesburg has Maryland style crab cakes. The owner used to have a restaurant in Maryland. They are very good. Very diverse menu also.

Lump crabmeat at Sams. Recipe on old bay spice or Google for one you prefer. Easy and better making fresh.

We met a couple at Lakewood Winery who raved about the authenticity of the crab cakes at the Whale’s Tale in Mt Dora. Unfortunately it takes more than Old Bay to recreate MD crab cakes. IMHO, they were just ok. We’ve had crab cakes shipped here on dry ice and they were excellent and yes, expensive but they’re also expensive in MD.
I believe they came from Jimmys Famous Seafood, a restaurant in MD that ships crab cakes on dry ice. They are not frozen and they caution against freezing them. They were excellent.
