The Cheapest and Easiest Crab Cakes Ever | But Cheaper

Being a fellow chef and a Marylander, there is a simple explanation as to why crab cakes, especially in Maryland, cost as much as they do. For starters, it is all about the crab meat. Many places will buy the pre-picked crab meat which in itself has a wide range. Often times it is shipped into the country from Mexico or Venezuela where they have a different picking process which ends up watering down the crab meat, taking away from the flavor. What you purchased (lump) is also some of the lowest grade. Lump is often used for at home or at restaurants that are trying to cut costs. Many traditionalist joints will use 25-50% lump in order to help bind the crab cakes with the rest being jumbo or super lump which is sweeter and also much more expensive. You also need to check what kind of crab meat (species wise) that you get. A true Maryland style crab cake will always use blue crab which is also often found in New Orleans style crab dishes as well as in low country style cooking. All of these factors lead to a higher cost. I've been at some places where 2 crab cakes would run $20+ dollars and that is at a food cost of over 45%. It doesn't help that the cost of crab has skyrocketed due to over harvesting and a lack of workforce to pick the crabs but that is a whole different issue. Overall point being, yes you can make a good crab cake for cheaper with some other added filler, but it just isn't the same as a pure crab meat crab cake. (This coming from someone who has worked at what has been voted Baltimore's best crabs and crab cakes for several years running)

[@alfredeinstein8612]

The cheapest crab cakes are made from the crab you catch yourself. The price: a case of beer and a pack of chicken necks. You even get a sunburn as a bonus.

[@Thalanna]

And $150 of gas for the car if you don't live remotely near a coastline :P

[@tavorlevy5715]

CATS don’t forget that time is money! You’re practically losing money if you’re trying to catch crabs instead of working and getting those dollars

[@Thalanna]

@slade good That is entirely true, I did some crab foraging in my life, where my grandparents live. They have a few areas with shallow waters that used to have a lot of'em (but not anymore because pollution). That said, it only works for someone who lives in the right areas, sadly ^^

Josh I made my wife these crab cakes tonight for Valentine’s Day. They were a huge hit and so good! I did need more breadcrumbs to form the cakes but it all worked out and they are amazing!

[@Vet1Michael]

Joshua: Noticed a little bit of the cakes falling apart in the pan. That's sometimes a side-effect of pan frying. Might I suggest an alternative: 450 degree oven; form cakes by pushing the mix into a 1/2 cup measuring cup (hopefully a nice square-sided metal one) and place them in a buttered (yes, buttered, ya dirty scoundrel) rimmed baking sheet. Melt some additional butter to drizzle atop the cakes. Pop them in the over for 12-ish minutes or until golden brown and crispy all around (yes, even the sides a little!) and VOILA! No batches, no waiting, they all come out wonderful

Look on the bright side. At least you aren't allergic to peanuts.

Crab cakes are one of my favorites. I’ve had them all over the world searching for one that is better than my mom’s. From Michelin star restaurants to a shack on the Beach, my mom‘s crab patties are the best I’ve ever had. It’s not filled with breading and no fucking mayo. Here is the recipe. CRAB PATTIES 1 pound lump crabmeat 2 eggs ½ cup finely chopped onions ¼ cup finely chopped green bell pepper ( optional ) 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning ¼ teaspoon black pepper Salt to taste Tobasco sauce ( you can put as much or as little as you like. I usually add a couple of shakes ). Mix together all ingredients together, except the crabmeat, in a large bowl. Add crabmeat and gently mix so as not to break up the crabmeat too much. Form into patties and sprinkle with Cracker Meal on both sides. Fry in hot oil until brown on both sides. Great with grits and shrimp stew. Mom notes: I lived in the South - Charleston, South Carolina to be exact, and we ate a lot of grits for breakfast. The traditional breakfast for my family on holidays is grits, shrimp stew, crab patties, scrambled eggs, blueberry muffins, coffee and juice. The shrimp stew is put over grits. These are called crab patties not crab cakes, because I don’t like a lot of bread or mayonnaise mixed with my crab.

How are we not ALL talking about that sick track josh laid down at the end of this?!!

GUYS old bay is just a blend of spices(don’t come at me). He just made his own instead of buying it.

[@queenpurr4275]

he did not add a single thing that's in old bay, besides salt and pepper.

You didn’t make an imitation crab version? It’s not as good, but it’s pretty tasty and it’s only like $3/lb!

[@tcmr5775]

No. Just no.

[@Cuasimodo2372]

Because it tastes like my grandma’s ass

[@Lemoncholy7]

Rich Humphrey Cuasimodo2372 lots of people’s like it. And it’s much cheaper. And the series is “but CHEAPER”

Today I learned Portland was named by a coin flip. Had the coin landed the other way, the city would be Boston, Oregon.

[@MeAHRoguealicious]

To make them even cheaper you could use pre-picked crab leg meat instead of lump. I actually think the legs taste better. It tends to be 2-4$ cheaper

Okay so these are obviously not salmon patties, but they look a lot like salmon patties, and salmon patties are like a childhood favorite of mine, so now I really really want crab cakes AND salmon patties.... ughhhh 🤤
