Title: Very authentic Maryland crab cakes
Review: I’m originally from Maryland and I admit that I’m picky about seafood, especially crab cakes. I’ve learned from bad experiences that unless I’m in the Chesapeake Bay region, I do not order crab cakes in any restaurant. The menu may say “Maryland Style Crab Cakes” but they are not. Not ever. For a native Marylander, it’s plain sacreligious to add extra ingredients like bell peppers, onions, etc. I’ve never had the knack of making the perfect crab cake from scratch and I now live in the beautiful northeastern corner of Tennessee where good seafood is rather scarce. AHA!!! Then I discovered this mix from Old Bay and my picky tongue is now happy. Are the crab cakes as good as restaurant crab cakes in Maryland? Maybe not, but they’re pretty darned good and nearly authentic. Preparation is a snap and no extra ingredients are needed: just this mix, mayonnaise and of course, the crab meat itself. I never use claw meat, only lump (or jumbo lump if I can get it). Here are a couple of little suggestions. First, for a pound of crab meat, I use slightly less than a full pack of the Old Bay mix. It’s subjective, but to me a full pack results in crab cakes that taste a little too salty. Once you have blended the mix with mayonnaise, gently fold in the crab meat to preserve delicious larger lumps. I form crab cakes by gently compressing in my bare hands. I’d say each cake is about the size of a tennis ball. I place them on a foil lined baking pan and place in the fridge for an hour or so before baking. I then bake using the convection oven function at 450 degrees for five minutes until they turn a golden color, then I *gently* flip them and bake another five minutes. And finally, I turn on the broiler (do NOT use the top rack!!) and broil for just a couple of minutes. Your taste buds can thank me (and Old Bay) later.

Title: Love this mix for easy, traditional Maryland crab cakes!
Review: We are Marylanders and use this mix regularly to make crab cakes. This mix is excellent and easy to use for great, authentic Maryland style crab cakes. We follow the package directions except bake the crab cakes at 425 degrees F for 12-15 minutes vs frying them. The price on Amazon is the same as our local grocery stores. Enjoy!Tips: Bake the crab cakes just long enough to ensure they are heated thru and serve them with a good cocktail sauce that lists horseradish as a main ingredient, preferably one that requires refrigeration (found in the seafood department versus the ketchup aisle). If possible, buy fresh, Maryland “blue crab” meat* sold in a tupperware (not a can and not with pop-top can lid under a Tupperware lid, e.g., not Phillips brand) in the seafood department of your fish market, grocery store, or Costco. Jumbo lump meat is best - avoid back fin claw meat for good crab cakes. Make sure you pick thru the meat to remove any remaining small pieces of shell.*Maryland Chesapeake Bay crabs have a blue hue to their shells before the crabs are cooked. The meat is white, only the shells are blue!

Title: Authentic Maryland crab cake seasoning in a package
Review: As a Marylander, a crab cake is something to be made with little filler to let the flavor of the crab shine thru. This package contains the exact right seasonings to create a perfect crab cake. Simple, quick to make. We've tried many recipes, all claiming to be Maryland crab cakes, but this is exactly right with very little effort.
