We broil or fry them to a perfect golden brown before chilling and shipping them directly to your door. Whether you are hosting a formal dinner or a casual family gathering, our authentic Maryland jumbo lump crab cakes deliver a restaurant-quality experience in the comfort of your home.
Why Our Maryland Crab Cakes Are Different
The “No Filler” Guarantee: We believe the crab should be the star. Unlike many “Maryland-style” cakes that use heavy breading, our authentic Maryland jumbo lump crab cakes feature all jumbo lump meat with just enough of our signature sauce to bind the lumps together.
Handmade, Not Machine-Pressed: We preserve the delicate texture of the meat by hand-forming every cake. This prevents the mushy consistency found in mass-produced, machine-pressed brands and ensures you see those signature large lumps of crab meat in every bite.
Fresh, Never Frozen: We ship our cooked crab cakes chilled. By avoiding the freezer, we preserve the sweet, delicate moisture and buttery flavor that makes the blue crab famous worldwide.
Reheating Instructions: Fresh-From-The-Oven Taste
Since these are cooked and ready to eat, you only need to bring them up to temperature. To keep them succulent and avoid drying them out, follow these expert tips:
The Oven Method (Best Results): Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the cakes on a baking sheet with a tiny splash of water or a pat of butter on top. Cover loosely with foil and heat for 10–12 minutes.
The Toaster Oven: Use the same method as the oven, but check after 8 minutes.
The Microwave (Quickest): While the oven is preferred for texture, you can microwave on medium power for 60–90 seconds.
- Sprinkle with Old Bay and try with our delicious sides or sauces!
