Served with a side of parmesan asparagus and the last of our summer limoncello
The recipe itself I believe originally came from Jacques Pépin, but it’s easy enough that I can just wing it with the ingredients nowadays

where are the crab cakes?
Haha, they’re under there I swear! I may have been a little generous with the tomato and avocado
Agreed. Still looks delicious but I’d like to see a bit more restraint on the topped salsa just so I can see em.
I can’t see the crab well enough to declare it a cake or a patty. I’ll accept a recipe in lieu of close up photograph.
Signed, a haughty Marylander.
Was mostly winging it but tried to stick close to these measurements:
- 1 lb crab meat
- between 1/2 to 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 2 tsp mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- a generous amount of Old Bay
- parsley
- lemon juice
- salt and pepper
Spot on my friend. Pretty close to my own family’s recipe!
You didn’t specify, but for anyone reading along you need lump crab for cakes. The quality of a crab cake is directly proportional to the ratio of lump crab to filler. And remember, minimal handling, folks! Keep the lumps in tact. It should look like this when cooked:
Very colorful, I like that!
