Baked Crab - Tangier Island - Chesapeake Bay

Recipe #222431 | 40 min | 10 min prep | add private note
Andi of Longmeadow Farm

By: Andi of Longmeadow Farm

This recipe comes from Tangier, a serene little island at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, actually part of Virginia. I can only give credit to an anonymous lady who had her and her neighbor's recipes tacked to a board near the dock in a small sandwich bag. The cost for these simple 6 hand-typed recipes was $1.00 and was self serve. This recipe is a part of a culture that has stood the test of time, and the folks that live within this island remain steadfast in tradition. Basically, Tangier Island represents what should be a prosperous, but simple way of living, bringing oysters and crabs to the people of Maryland and Virginia. This recipe speaks of this island when life took a breath and enjoyed the riches of our beautiful Chesapeake Bay. When I prepare this recipe, I will always be reminded of this wonderful place and a wonderful time. Serve on crackers, or crusty warmed bread. Note this recipe is not a *dip*. As a previous reviewer noted, this compares more to baked crab, a la Maryland. In Maryland we serve baked crab/crab cake sometimes on bread/crackers. I hope you enjoy this simple but historical taste of Maryland.

    This recipe was great! I'm a seafood lover in Hampton Roads, VA where seafood is plentiful. The only reason I didn't give the recipe 5 stars is because I didn't add the bread crumbs, I do not like filler. Other than that the only thing I changed was instead of a med. onion, I used a little very finely chopped onion & celery, sauteed. DELICIOUS!!

    I tagged this recipe earlier today, went to my kitchen & had it in the oven in no time at all. I had been looking at the recipe for some time in an effort to find a crab appy that I could serve hot or at room temp as a starter course for dinner parties. I used canned lump crabmeat brought back from the US & made a half recipe as written except I did use 2 eggs, mostly because the crab mixture seemed a bit dry & I wanted a puffed, almost souffle texture. I got just that, so I took the next step & applied creativity. It looked like it would easily serve 4 as a starter ... so I cut & placed 4 slices of smoked salmon on top, added a scant tsp of my Gravlaxsosa (The Real Deal) on ea slice & topped that w/Icelandic baby shrimp. Then I put a bit of sauce in the center w/a few tiny capers & sprinkled the effort w/parsley. We ate it as a main course w/just a green salad & DH pronounced it excellent and dinner party worthy Thx for posting this quick-fix & tasty recipe that got me creatively inspired & met my goal.

    This is like a giant, yummy lump crab cake. It's soooo good! I mixed everything together first, then gently folded in my jumbo lump crabmeat (careful not to break it up much). I used Dijon mustard. Wonderful dish for all the crab-lovers! Thanx for sharing. I'll make this again.
