I used of course Crab

Egg

Panko

Old Bay

What am I missing that makes it great?

I have them in the frig to "set" before I fry them tomorrow so there

is still time to add.

@Mistreatedbycs Mayo also helps bind them together. I'd also add some chopped parsley, lemon juice and some salt

@Kachina624 Thanks so much...I'll add some lemon juice and salt.

I think it's too late for the mayo since I added an egg.

Ok...so for real MD crabcakes (yields about 8 to 10)

2 pounds jumbo lump MD blue crabmeat

few tablespoons mayo, teaspoon regular mustard, two eggs beaten together

I do not use Worcestershire sauce but if you want, just about 1/2 teaspoon

No salt, onion or any other additives here on the Eastern Shore of MD. I also do not use any binders but if you feel you need it, just a few shakes of plain breadcrumbs. Add crabmeat to your mix and only handle enough to mix together. Shape into large crabcakes and sprinkle old bay on top of crabcake.

Turn on your broiler...spray a cookie sheet with non stick spray. Put the cookie sheet under the broiler until its smoking hot. Remove and place crabcakes on hot sheet then stick them under the broiler, about two rungs down. Broil until brown...no need to flip them.

I am lucky to get my crabmeat fresh caught and picked that morning, so that is the difference. Crabs are not running right now which is unusual, but we have had a wet, cold spring. Therefore, I have not made crabcakes yet because I refuse to buy crabmeat from the grocery store. Any crabmeat local restaurants have is more than likely from the Carolinas or Florida. The meat is not as sweet.

Hopefully soon, the watermen will catch enough soon.

Enjoy!

Go to Paula Deen's site and watch her daughter-in-law make them! OMG, they looked wonderful. She used crab, that she caught, and mayonaise, green onion, 2 eggs. Old Bay and just a little panko inside and then outside. This was for 2 lbs of crab. She fried hers and Paula put some in her air fryer.
