Crab Cakes

[Hollibird]

Okay... I am from Baltimore, Maryland and I know my crab cakes. The absolute only place where I found something comparable was Sarah K's Gourmet in Destin. (same place where best buy, cracker barrel are). they are about $8.50 and they are nothing but crab meat. no fillers, no peppers, onions, bread... nothing to take away from the crab meat. BUT I always sprinkle Old Bay (Publix) on them so I feel l like i am home. Trust me, I have been to the fanciest restaurants here and I laugh when they claim " Maryland style crabcakes".

Interesting. I never noticed that anywhere down there. Why would restaurants with proximity to the Gulf want to claim that? Let the Maryland crabcakes stay in Maryland. ;-)

I have not tried Sarah K's yet but will soon.

To date, Cafe Tango is my favorite place for crab cakes - Florida crab cakes, that is.

I should not have looked at that link. Those look scrumptious.

I have always wondered about Sarah K's. Maybe I'll give it a whirl. Personally, I like a little breading on my crabcakes, and a little bit of peppers and onions on the inside.

I think the same thing when I see restaurants south of the Mason-Dixon line advertise Maine lobsters. I say, eat locally caught seafood and forget about the stuff you have to fly in. (Although I can be pursuaded to bend the rules a bit when you're talking Alaskan king crab!)

Not to complicate matters, but Costco has wonderful frozen Baltimore crabcakes, and yes, they're made in Baltimore.

Crab cakes at Blue Ridge Grill in Buckhead (a tony neighborhood in the ATL) are the best I've ever had ... even better than at Bacchanalia (ranked as a five-star restaurant in Atlanta) whose crab cakes are divine, although a bit wet from the citrus juice.

Try them at both places if you're ever in A-town.
