You can't get a much better crab cake than this - just be sure to use MARYLAND (or maybe Virginia) Chesapeake Blue Crab if you want a real Maryland crab cake. MMMMMMMMMMM!! Makes me long to be back by the bay again.

Now, deviled crab is another whole matter. I'll submit another recipe for that so you can decide which one it is you REALLY want.
