Published May 03, 2019 Updated Oct 17, 2024 This mini crab cake recipe is loaded with Dungeness crab meat, eggs, bread crumbs and Old Bay seasonings. It’s the real deal. The recipe is quick and easy and so much cheaper (and better!) than restaurants.
How To Make Mini Crab Cakes
The best crab cake recipe is from Baltimore, Maryland, which I tried many years ago. For a similar result at home, I strongly recommend using fresh Dungeness crab for homemade crab cakes, especially when they are in season. If you can get live Dungeness crab from your seafood stores, you should buy it and ask your store to steam it for you. Pick the crab meat out of the shells. You can also use live blue crab. Otherwise, you can buy lump crab meat, which yields equally amazing results. You can also use frozen crab meat or canned crab meat but they will not be as tasty.
Crab Cake Sauce
For serving, I recommend the following sauces, which you can make from scratch or buy from the store.
Remoulade sauce made from mayonnaise, mustard, Cajun/Creole seasoning and hot sauce. Bang bang sauce which is basically spicy mayonnaise with Sriracha. Tartar sauce made with mayonnaise, finely minced onion, celery and lemon juice. Marinara sauce.
