Note:

• You can also bake the crab cakes in the oven by preheating the oven to 375 F, place the crab cakes on a baking sheet and bake them for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Maryland crabcakes are best enjoyed with a cold beer and some Old Bay seasoning on the side. If you want to add some extra flavor, you can also try adding diced onion, bell pepper, or celery to the mixture before forming the patties. You can also adjust the amount of Old Bay seasoning to your preference. Remember, the key to great crabcakes is to use high-quality, fresh crabmeat and handle it gently to avoid breaking it up too much. Happy cooking!
