We are hoping you are planning on cooking some of the best crab cakes out there for dinner. Why not surprise the family with a yummy crab cake for each of them with the perfect side dishes that compliment the whole meal and end it with apple crisp (Still enjoying the fall weather?). Ready to get that dinner started that will be featuring some of the best crab cakes.

As we stated in another part of our site, cooking the crab cakes can really be quite simple. Cooking Instructions: Bake at 450F 20-25 Minutes until browned. Or pan saute on medium heat browning both sides (approx. 3-4 minutes for each side). Crab cakes are fragile, handle with care.

Now, for what will be going along side the best crab cakes. Potato dishes are pretty popular to go with crab cakes. You can prepare potatoes in so many ways like french fries, potato salad or for something different try mashed potatoes. You will probably want a vegetable to go along with the crab cakes and the potato dish so some ideas would be a nice green salad, asparagus or coleslaw.

Since you are wanting to serve up some of the best crab cakes you will be wanting a super delicious dessert to finish the meal. So how about apple crisp? It is really so simple to make and you do not have to worry about making sure the crust is perfect like you do when making pies. Don’t forget to get ice cream to serve up with the apple crisp.

We, at Maryland Crab Cakes, hope we got you excited to start making each of your family members a yummy crab cake along with all the sides and dessert. Have a fun family night, maybe you could pull out some of those old boardgames that have been collecting dust.

If you are wanting to do crab cakes for part of the food you might want to consider doing a beach themed wedding shower which could be so fun for the bride and her guests, that she would want you to invite. Before we talk on how you can use crab cakes let’s first talk about things that could work with the decorating part of a beach theme such as sand, sea shells and flip flops. I’m sure you could think of other things that would work with that. Now there are many ways to do the food. Of course, you will want to have crab cakes. You could even have shrimp and clams, maybe even chowder. You could look at our crab cake recipes to get ideas of ways to prepare your crab cakes. Something like the crab dip or try our crab cake sauce over your crab cakes. You could serve up different crab cake recipes, not just one. However, if you are planning on making them do not forget to make an order before the big event.

The Season Changed, Have a Crab Cake

admin — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 16:39:06 +0000

We at Maryland Crab Cakes would like to say happy first day of fall! With the new season of fall here why not start thinking about cooking more and make yourself a crab cake with a side of french fries. Today it is easy to think of the leaves changing colors especially with Maryland Crab Cakes being located in the beautiful north eastern states where it is known for its beautiful fall colors. But anyways back to that tasty crab cake you want to make up for your dinner. Want some tips on how to make some home style oven fries to add to your crab cake meal? It is actually a very simple addition to put along side a crab cake.

Ingredients is a short list: potatoes, oil, salt and pepper (getting excited to eat a crab cake?)

This depends on your oven, of course, but you’ll be wanting a pretty hot temperature, somewhere around 400 degrees.

You will want to cut your potatoes in wedges or thinner strips. Whatever you decide, make sure they are pretty even in size so they will cook evenly.

Put them in a bowl and toss until coated with oil, salt and pepper. (almost time to eat them with your crab cakes).

Put them on a cookie sheet and bake for about 30 minutes or until fully cooked (golden brown).

Serve up with your crab cake and enjoy! Just remember before serving up your oven fries with your crab cake that they should be extremely hot and we at Maryland Crab Cakes do not want you to get burned so please be careful and do not get burned. Now go get your plate and fill it with a crab cake and oven fries and go sit and enjoy the beautiful fall season.

It is a great way to bring the family together over a yummy home cooked meal and if it is your very first time using our crab cakes recipes then it is a wonderful time to get your family to try something new. You could pare the crab cakes with some thing like a clam chowder if you are wanting something more traditional. Soup is such a fall meal! You could go with something different and try one of our crab cakes recipes. Like using our crab cakes sauce, that has a bit of a spicy flare, but then has a balance of creaminess. Now if you are thinking something along the lines of a snack look through our crab cakes recipes for the crab dip that we have talked about in the past. Just serve it with some nice simple crackers and there you go! Maybe another reason why you should try our crab cakes recipes at the beginning of this lovely fall season is the fact that our friend the blue crab (which our Chesapeake Bay crab cakes are made from) are from the North Eastern states which is a beautiful place to be at in the fall. Time to go pull out your long sleeve shirts and sweaters and hopefully your apron to greet the first day of fall, all warm and snugly with the delightful smells of cooking in the kitchen (hopefully our crab cakes recipes).

Calories and Blue Crab Cakes

admin — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 18:44:20 +0000

Before you start cooking up our delicious blue crab cakes, which are really the best crab cakes, you might want to consider if you are wanting to be more healthy or not. Like we had mentioned in a past blog about 3 oz. of blue crab cakes meat (which ours have a little filler added to keep them intact) is equal to about 87 calories. The way you prepare the blue crab cakes will change the calorie count of them. So if you are one who is conscious about how many calories you take in that is something to think about. We know you are super excited about eating the best crab cakes. But before you get started on cooking the blue crab cakes here is some information on calories that you might not know (or you might know but still love us anyway).

A calorie is considered a burst of energy. Hence you need calories to function in life because they are like fuel for the body (Ready to cook up the best crab cakes to make fuel?).

There are 3500 calories in a pound of stored body fat (That would be a lot of blue crab cakes.).

With that in mind if you are looking to burn extra calories you would probably need to burn about 3500 calories to loose a pound. To burn about 500 calories could take about an hour of hard core working out. Another way to help with calories is eating healthy lighter calorie foods (Did we mention blue crab meat is low in calories and that is what blue crab cakes are made from?).

So there you have it, a little “food” for thought on calories. Now you are ready to really decide on how you are going to cook up the best crab cakes. Are you thinking healthy or maybe more like comfort food when you make the blue crab cakes. That is what is fun when it comes to cooking, there are so many options. Have fun cooking up the best crab cakes. A quick side note, our blue crab cakes do have a minimum amount of filler to keep the cakes intact so that will change the calorie count from if it was just straight meat.

Our Lovely Blue Crab Cakes

admin — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 17:32:41 +0000

Our friend the blue crab, is a very important part of these blue crab cakes! Without them there would be no “Maryland Crab Cakes”. Hopefully that does not sound to heartless but it is true about these blue crab cakes. We thought it would be fun to know a little bit more about the blue crab. So here it is a little bio on the blue crab in our blue crab cakes:

Ever wondered why they are called “blue”? Well that would be because they have blue claws. The claws are a good way to tell the difference between the girls and the boys. Since the girls have red tips at the end of their claws. So there is the blue in the blue crab cakes. Of course by the time you get blue crab cakes there is no shell so you do not get to experience the blue part.

Female blue crabs only mate once in their lives, though they actually can have several egg masses in their life time. To attract the ladies the males do something like a courtship dance when the time is right for them to be with each other. When a female is pregnant the eggs that are attached to her abs can have the appearance of a sponge. It will take the eggs about two weeks before they get released into the water.

It is most likely that only one out many of the eggs will actually survive due to different circumstances. There are a few stages before the blue crabs look like what we know it as and then use for the blue crab cakes. The first stage is the larvae, it is then followed by the megalops stage which is when it starts to look more like a crab. After those two stages they are called juveniles where they are now looking like a crab but still not quite full grown, from there they are considered an adult.

We hope that this information on the crab in the blue crab cakes was interesting for you! Have a lovely day and do not forget to make an order of blue crab cakes sometime soon if not today.

Nutrition in Chesapeake Bay Crab Cakes

admin — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 18:13:39 +0000

What is really great to know about Chesapeake Bay crab cakes is that the meat in our Maryland crab cakes is very high in nutrition and on the lower side of calories especially for a meat. Isn’t that a really great fact to know about the Chesapeake Bay crab cakes? So for about 3 oz. of blue crab meat there are about 87 calories. Obviously that is talking about pure meat so adding anything to that would change that. Now that is a good reason to be wanting to make an order of crab cakes but not just any crab, Maryland crab cakes. Right now good nutrition is really becoming more important to people all around the United States, which is really great. Our health is very important and it is one area that you can have control over in this crazy life of ours. There are so many vitamins in the meat of the blue crab (which our Chesapeake Bay crab cakes are made from) ranging from iron and calcium to some of the B vitamins, plus many more. Having good nutrition is very important, it could help you have a good immune system. Makes it so you don’t have as many colds, doesn’t that sound nice? It could also be a good way from stopping yourself from getting something more serious like a chronic disease. We at Maryland crab cakes understand the importance of taking care of yourself and eating healthy foods which is why we are happy to produce a great product like Chesapeake Bay crab cakes. They are made of pure blue crab meat. Of course the way you prepare it can make it not as healthy, just keep that in mind when cooking. Since we are on a healthy note after eating the yummy Chesapeake Bay crab cakes take a nice walk with your sweetheart! We hope this gave you something to think about.

What to Do with Your Crab Cakes

admin — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 18:35:59 +0000

There are many ways you can eat crab cakes. We even have a few crab cake recipes right here on our site. Seafood is such a pleasure to eat to many that serving crab cakes is an enjoyable idea to do at an event. One of our recipes that we wanted to highlight is our “Rab Rangoon Recipe”. These make the perfect appetizer for a party and are a great way to incorporate the crab cakes into your evening. This crab cake recipe does not have a long list of ingredients which is always nice when your mind is so full of getting ready for the party. If you have never tried making them before what a fun time to try something new without it being too scary, since it would not be the main course. It is always worth making a good appetizer because it can be fondly remembered just as much as the main course. Of course you could just do a whole crab cakes theme for your menu and do the “Rab Rangoon Recipe” for the start. Then do traditionally prepared crab cakes for the main course paired with something like a Chardonnay wine, and for side dishes possibly fried okra and some sort of potato. Another appetizer to add to the menu (because you want a couple appetizers right?) that features crab cakes is our “Crab Dip”. What makes this so simple is you just put it with a basic Triscuit and you are done. All of the crab cake recipe ideas are simple but will be great to serve to your guests. We really hope our crab cakes will add the perfect touch to your event.

Remember to order crab cakes in time for the party from us at “Maryland Crab Cakes”.
