These Maryland Style Keto Crab Cakes are honestly on of my best seafood recipes and Im so happy to share them with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a Marylander I feel I have a decent amount of street credit when it comes to crab cakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ive also been the chef at some very successful seafood restaurants in the mid Atlantic and Ive literally made tens of thousands over my career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philosophy to making Great Maryland Style Crab Cakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Crab Cakes should be simple, they don\u2019t need a bunch of peppers or strange ingredients and they definitely don\u2019t need a bunch of bread crumbs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key is buying the best crab meat you can afford that\u2019s available. Fresh is always best but I\u2019ve made some very tasty crab cakes with pasteurized crab meat too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made this batch of crab cakes with fresh whole crabs that I painstakingly picked myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously that\u2019s not always an option but it\u2019s a great way to use leftover steamed crabs if you have them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save the shells to make amazing soup broth but that\u2019s another recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Crabmeat is Best for Crab Cakes?
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Crabmeat is expensive, it doesn\u2019t matter where you live or who you know. At the date of writing this blog the going price for jumbo lump crab meat was about $40 and backfin was $28. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no shame in using all backfin crab especially if you\u2019re using fresh crabmeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to use a combination so that I can get those big beautiful lumps from the jumbo and fill in the blanks with the backfin.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the time of year or the region you live in fresh crab meat may not be an option. Your next best bet is to use pasteurized crab meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though pasteurized crab tends to be a little more bland you can compensate with the other ingredients in your crab cakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most pasteurized crab meat is going to come from the Far East. Regulations can vary a lot but I try to look for crab meat that is cooked on board and pasteurized immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crabmeat from the Philippines and Vietnam tend to be the best. I try to avoid any crabmeat from China if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
