Windows Crab Cakes

Crab cakes are one of Baltimore’s most famous dishes. This version is from Guy Reinbold, chef at Windows restaurant in the Stouffer Harborplace hotel.

3/4 c fresh white breadcrumbs
1 medium egg, beaten to blend
1 1/2 T. chopped fresh parsley
1 T. mayonnaise
1 1/2 tsp. worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
1/2 lb. crabmeat
2 T. (1/4 stick) butter
Lemon wedges

Mix breadcrumbs & egg in medium bowl.
Add chopped parsley, mayo, worcestershire sauce & seasoning.
Stir to combine.
Mix in crabmeat. Season to taste with salt & pepper.
Form crab mixture into six 1/3-inch-thick patties. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover & refrigerate.)

Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat.
Add patties & cook till golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
Transfer to plates and serve with lemon wedges.

Thanks for recipe, Jean. Those little babies look yummy--maybe I will change my mind about Saturday-----OOPS, Billy isn't a fan of seafood---back to the chops. Crab cakes another time. BTW---the ones in the C@H are great too!

You're in trouble, Billy!!!!

I am a fan of seafood, it's my sister Fredia and BIL I have trouble with. I just don't eat fish. That's a story I'll save for another time.

With my oldest sis, Carol, gallivanting around it's difficult for me to get Dungeness crab without buying them. She usually keeps me supplied with crab, clams, venison and elk.

Just give me a little notice and we will take care of you!!!! By the way, I have most issues of BA from 1980 forward and some 78-79. Let me know if I can look up something for you.

Well these just look yummy.

But I think the rule is...if you post something yummy you have to make enough for everyone! Fedex can get them to us the next day.

"But I think the rule is" - now that's a fun rule!

Thanks, Jean, love crabcakes!! Billy, we went to Henry's when I was in Maryland, and bought their tinned crab. Great stuff, they sell lump, jumbo and claw. I can even get it here in TO. They gave me some of their own seasoning, so I've been using that rather than Old Bay.
