The Best Crabs for Crab Cakes
While you can use various crab meat for this recipe, the most common crab meat that you will use for this recipe is either canned or jarred crabmeat. Although you can find it in some grocery stores selling fresh crab meat.
- Lump Crab Meat
- Leg Crab Meat
- Special Crab Meat
- Claw Crab Meat
- Crab Cocktail Claws
Can I Use Canned Crab Meat?
Yes, I used canned crab meat I purchased at Trader Joe’s. It’s a great tool for saving time. Especially if you can find a great package of lump crab. I like using lump crab meat because finding that you get a better crab cake with lump crab rather than claw crab meat.
Tips for Making Crab Cakes:
- Even if you use canned crab meat, make sure that you check for shells. I usually pick through the crab meat, looking for anything hard.
- Chill your crab cakes for about 30 to 50 minutes before grilling them. The patties will stay together better.
- Try to make the same size crab cakes, so they all cook at around the same time.
Can I Add Seasonings?
Yes, I kept it really simple with a lemon flavor, but my husband made them once, and he added some Old Bay Seasoning.
Since we live in Philadelphia, we find that we used Old Bay a lot, which comes from Baltimore, Maryland, a stone’s throw away.
You can add any seasonings that you want; some other great suggestions are Cajun Seasoning or a simple Grill Mates Seafood Seasoning.
The Best Dip for Crab Cakes
I usually serve this as a sandwich to my family, but you can easily eat without any bread. Some great dipping sauces are:
