Garlic Crab

This is a simi difficult recipe, but the result is ever so delectable. I had something like this at Crustaceans in San Francisco. They used the wonderful Dungeness crabs, but here in Virginia I had to settle for Blue crabs, which turned out just as nice. -- posted by Jessica

The Best Seafood Salad

Thu, 10 Oct 2002 22:18:35 -0400

I looked through all of the seafood salad recipes on here and although they all looked delicious I thought that I would try making my own with some ideas from the other seafood salad recipes that I seen on here and this turned out excellent. I could not quit eating it. You can add more or less of the ingredients as you like and you can also add grated cheddar cheese to it which is also wonderful. I added the cheese and bacon which is optional but very good without it as well. -- posted by Gingerbear

Linda's Seafood Pasta Salad

Mon, 27 Jan 2003 20:03:25 -0500

I love the flavors in this pasta salad with the addition of the lemon, shrimp and Old Bay Seasoning! I often substitute whole wheat pasta in this dish... I also double the mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning and lemon, adding half when I initially make it, then just before serving I add some more, so it isn't dry after sitting in the fridge for flavors to meld... Sometimes I just double up on the shrimp or the crabmeat instead of using both together... Either way, this recipe is a KEEPER for sure! -- posted by Linda's Busy Kitchen

Crab Cakes

Thu, 05 Jun 2003 20:04:24 -0400

This recipe is slightly altered from Amanda Hesser's Grandmother's Crab Cake recipe. It is featured in her book "Cooking for Mr. Latte". She doesn't suggest any sauces to be served with this, as 'she likes them plain so you can taste the crab meat'. My first ever batch of crab cakes, from this recipe, were absolutely fantastic. Prep time includes sitting time. -- posted by s'kat

Crab Cobb Salad with Caramelized Pecans

Wed, 18 Jun 2003 20:34:54 -0400

Unlike the one-person Cobb salads at restaurants, here everyone serves him/herself from one big beautiful bowl (though you can of course arrange individual salads, if you prefer). The crab, bacon and avocado make a fantastic combination, the carrots are a colorful, light alternative to shredded cheese, and the caramelized pecans are to-die-for, especially with the blue cheese. YUM! Serves 4 as main dish, 6 as side salad. -- posted by quantumgirl

Crab Pasta Louis

Thu, 19 Jun 2003 20:08:23 -0400

Crab Salad Louis, a San Francisco classic, makes an elegant first course or luncheon entree. Use frozen lump crab meat for the fanciest presentation or canned flaked crab meat for a more economical version. If you have leftovers, mix them all together, and keep in the frige. the next day, after all the flavors combine and mingle, it is fabulous, but not as attractive. This is a great summer dish! -- posted by Lorri Nichols

This is a lovely salad that is excellent as a luncheon dish, or for a light summertime dinner. Don' let the long ingredient list scare you....this is easy to put together. This is my version of the crabacado salad recipe I found in the 'Benson & Hedges 100's 100 Recipes from 100 of the Greatest Restaurants' and it's originally from Houlihan's Old Place in Atlanta, Georgia.

Panko Crab Cakes and Tartar Sauce (Jessup Lane)

Sun, 11 Sep 2005 21:29:58 -0400

Found this recipe in a beach house that we had rented and I copied it down! It seems like someone had given a container with the crabcakes (and the recipe attached) to the owner or previous tenant. What a nice idea. I made them without the tarter sauce since I didn't have the ingredients but I took some mayo, mustard and hot sauce and made a dipping sauce. -- posted by Oolala

Leftover Salmon Cakes(Or Tuna, or Crab)

Mon, 10 Oct 2005 18:06:29 -0400

The cornbread gives this a Southern flair. You can use this base to make a variety of patties. = Salmon is my favorite, but I've made them with pretty much whatever I had on hand. Great for leftover salmon or even chicken. If you don't have leftover cornbread and don't want to make it, you can use breadcrumbs, or crushed crackers. You can also omit the potatoes if you don't have any. -- posted by little_wing

Classic Old Bay Crab Cakes

Mon, 06 Mar 2006 18:38:39 -0500

***Update: This is the Crab Cake recipe used for building the Nutty for New England Naughty but Nice Crab Burger for one of the challenges in the Spring 07 Zaar Tour world! I have lived most of my life near the Chesapeake Bay and spent many summers in Maryland as a child. This is the original recipe that was on the back of the Old Bay can. This version contains baking powder which helps make the crab cakes light and fluffy. We have always added a little lemon juice and browned them in butter which I feel really brings out the flavor and absolutely makes these. Try refrigerating the shaped patties 30 minutes to help keep them together when cooking, This is a Summertime favorite of ours served with Corn on the Cob and Coleslaw! -- posted by Little Bee

A long time ago you used to be able to get a crab salad at the grocery store that had a vinegar base...not the thick mayo base that you find now.

This has always been my favorite salad. It's kind of like eating seafood cocktail, but better with the creaminess of mayonnaise.

Crab Salad My Way

Wed, 12 Jul 2006 15:44:06 -0400

I looked for crab salad recipes, but a lot had celery and a lot had way too much mayo for our likes. Feel free to use more mayo-I just wanted our crab moistened rather than gloopy. We cooked our own mud crab for this, but I think it would work with tinned or imitation (something I have never tasted). I haven't allowed for the catching, cooking, chilling or picking of the crab in prep times. -- posted by JustJanS

All Saints Summer Supper Maryland Crab Cakes

Thu, 14 Jun 2007 15:35:30 -0400

I grew up in southern Maryland, and attended All Saints Episcopal Church, where my parents are still members. Every summer (1st weekend in August) the church hosts its Summer Supper fundraiser, which I consider a southern Maryland tradition, since folks come from all over to eat some great food (ham, fried chicken, green beans, fresh homemade bread, rolls, and desserts, and, oh yeah.. CRABCAKES! This is an adaptation of the recipe used at the supper, so that the yield is something reasonable for a family dinner (as opposed to the hundreds of crabcakes made by the fine folks at All Saints!). Of course, I have added my own touches over the years, but it's still pure "Maryland Crabcake". -- posted by Special Ed

Fresh Corn and Crab Chowder

Wed, 15 Aug 2007 16:37:27 -0400

I adapted this recipe from a camping cookbook, Simple Foods for the Pack, by Claudia Axcell, Diana Cooke and Vikki Kinmont. Originally almost all the ingredients were dehydrated (except for the canned crab) so that you can just throw them all in a ziplock and heat them in camp with water. This is probably a great idea for OAMC, but this recipe is also very fast to put together if you haven't made it ahead. I had it on the table within half an hour from start to finish, and that included time to cook the potatoes in the microwave. This chowder is very rich even without any dairy in it, and obviously you could make it vegetarian without the crab. -- posted by kitchengrrl

Portabella Mushrooms Topped With Crab Imperial a La John Shields

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 23:33:13 -0400

A personal favorite! This is very close to the appetizer served at John Shields' restaurant at the Baltimore Museum of Art called "Gertrude's," which started me on this chase. Some people say everything is better with bacon; I say everything is better with dry sherry! At Gertrude's, John Shields further reduces the butter/sherry liquid to create a thick pool on the plate on which to place the stuffed mushrooms; if you prefer to do that, use 4 tablespoons butter to saute the bell peppers and chopped mushrooms. And if the only crabmeat you can get is the pasteurized canned crabmeat, this recipe gives you your best shot at making it taste GOOD. From "Chesapeake Bay Cooking with John Shields". Note: In Maryland, crab-stuffed mushrooms can resemble a crab cake sitting atop a mushroom cap "plate"; do not picture a mushroom cap with scant filling, that's not our style. You do not want the taste of the portabello mushrooms to overwhelm the crab. -- posted by KateL

Crab Cakes from Maryland Governor's Kitchen

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 02:35:49 -0400

Diet-conscious Eastern-shore style, showcases the natural sweetness of Blue Claw Crabs with the minimum of filler and extra ingredients. Derived from MIL's newspaper clipping, her favorite crab cake with minimum of spice. This was from Maryland Governor Tawe's cook. For saltine crumbs, may substitute 2 slices of decrusted white bread broken into small pieces, or use 1/4 cup panko crumbs. I dared to vary from my mother-in-law's crab cakes by substituting saltine crackers for the traditional white bread and then serve her a "renegade" cake; this one variation was deemed by her as possibly better. She sneered at the addition of Old Bay seasoning. It is vital to have freshly steamed blue claw crab meat to achieve superior results. If you are not so fortunate as to live between North Carolina and Pennsylvania, and you use Phillip's crab meat from Costco, be aware that you are using Asian blue swimming crab which lacks the sweetness; in that case, I would recommend adding 1/2-1 teaspoon dried horseradish and 1/2-3/4 teaspoon lemon juice to add some pizazz. I find that canola oil "falls off" the crab cakes, and prefer frying my crab cakes. Preparation time includes 1 hour refrigeration prior to cooking. -- posted by KateL

These burgers are to die for! We had them down at the shore at the Green Turtle pub.

Serve with a side of fries, onion rings or potato salad and of course, a dill pickle. You can make the burgers into 1/2 pounders and make 4 large crab cakes, if you desire.

Shrimp and Crab Stuffing- for Chicken or Fish

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:12:14 -0400

I've had this with skinless boneless chicken breasts and salmon, although I'm sure it has multiple other uses, such as stuffing whole fish or fish fillets. The whole stick of butter might not be necessary- the moistness of the stuffing depends on how much butter you use, so be sure to add it gradually. -- posted by Kim_150

Sheila's Sauteed Soft-Shell Crabs With Lemon Butter Sauce

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 02:13:56 -0400

When my boyfriend told me soft-shell crabs was one of his favorite dishes, I knew I was in trouble. I had never made them before, so I realized I was in for a long learning process. Well, I think I have finally mastered it. As a matter of fact, when we were recently out to dinner, he ordered some soft-shell crabs and then proclaimed (with surprise) that they weren't near as good as mine! So, I will share my success with you. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Capt. Phil's Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:44:30 -0400

Captain Phil Harris of "Deadliest Catch" made this recipe on the series "After the Catch"; I thought they looked interesting. I would suggest garlic and herb cream cheese, Aloette or Boursin, though you may use what you have handy and suits you. I would think more shredded cheese would be necessary for 40 mushroom caps also. Taken from Discovery.com. -- posted by alligirl

Smoky Lump Crab and Melon Salad

This is a great fresh and summery salad...it was the first thing I ever made with my lump crab meat splurge many years ago. It represents summer ingredients well with a good mixture of sweet and smoky. -- posted by Melanie B.

Angelina's Restaurant Crab Cakes - Maryland

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:54:24 -0400

This is the original as it appeared in the "Baltimore Sun" as a recipe request, recently. This was also printed many years ago, but has made a new a recent appearance again paralleling the closure of "Angelina' and subsequent auction of the restaurant. With the sale of the restaurant this crab cake recipe goes along with it. History as follows from Angelina's website. "In 1952, Angelina Tadduni and her family began a neighborhood Italian restaurant in a row home in northeast Baltimore. Building upon its local popularity, Bob and Carole Reilly purchased the restaurant in 1968 and added several essential features to the Angelina's legacy. Among these were a renowned Irish pub (the first to serve draught Guinness in Baltimore) and the finishing touches on the celebrated crab cake recipe. The success of this signature dish made Angelina's name famous far beyond the old neighborhood, and the crab cakes began accumulating a list of awards too lengthy to include here. Visitors from across the country came to Angelina's seeking the best known crab cakes in a city best known for crab cakes." "This recipe is straightforward and unadulterated and what you will get are authentic Maryland-style crab cakes. The real key to making good crab cakes is the use of top quality crab meat, and very little filler as possible. It's equally as important to be very careful with the fragile lumps, as you don't want to break up the lumps that provide the best formed crab cakes you will ever see, and without over-mixing. Enjoy this recipe as this is a Baltimore staple, and what a tradition it is. -- posted by Andi of Longmeadow Farm
