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.

Bonefish has the best

you might want to check out the fish market on 466....Lighthouse ....no connection to the restaurant in LSL

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

Md girl 08-11-2020 08:39 PM

None here for sure. I just buy the crab meat and make my own.

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.

Surprisingly enough, Sams Club has delicious frozen crab cakes....lots of crab and yummy.

Pdesensi 08-12-2020 06:02 AM

The Rose Plantation has the Best. Hardly any filler.

M2inOR 08-12-2020 06:23 AM

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.

Sskip 08-12-2020 06:31 AM

Yes! They are very good!

HappyRetired 08-12-2020 06:32 AM

Oyster Troff in Eustis. I'd go there if I wanted crab cakes. No or very little filler.

Best way to get awesome maryland crab cakes is ordering online from crabcakecentral.com. They come from an Annapolis delly and are shipped ready to cook.. Includes instructions.

I have not had a decent crab cake since I last Annapolis, MD 10 years ago. Good luck. Let us all know if you find one.

The best I've had here is at the lighthouse restaurant they were very good not a bunch of fillers

bjd0105 08-12-2020 07:07 AM

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.

Here is a link to a great place to order them from:

Timbuktu Restaurant & Lounge, Maryland :: Seafood : Steaks : Chicken : Crab Cakes

Soupea 08-12-2020 08:05 AM

I agree Sams club frozen crab cakes are excellent.

BRK1939 08-12-2020 08:10 AM

Try the lady with the boat trailer at the Brownwood farmers market every Saturday. She also has very nice fillets of Triggerfish.

I agree. G&M has awesome crab cakes.

avillager 08-12-2020 08:43 AM

Fresh Market lump crab cakes all crab with very little binder. Mmm mmmm good 😬

Imadancer 08-12-2020 08:57 AM

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.

TesaA 08-12-2020 09:30 AM

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!

TesaA 08-12-2020 09:40 AM

Good crab cakes
 
Bonefish has very tasty ones, just not with large lump crab... a bit too soft.

daveac83 08-12-2020 09:45 AM

Bonefish!

024engine 08-12-2020 11:05 AM

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.

shirleyvan 08-12-2020 11:43 AM

Bonefish!

seetshaw 08-12-2020 11:49 AM

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.
