Are you kidding me? Clarkes Landing 4th place best crab cakes?? Hadn’t been down there for quite awhile so took the other half out to dinner the other night. I Had the steak and crab cake dinner. The worst crab cake I’ve ever had. No taste, bland, nothing. Had to ask the waitress for some Old Bay so it was edible. Steak was just as bad, no seasoning at all. Won’t even talk about the crab muffin she had (beyond bad) I don’t mind supporting a local business but we won’t be going back there anytime soon.

The only thing I really like there is the crab imperial. :ohwell:

I recommend the toothfish.

I haven't been in quite a while. That's really bad news.

I wonder if there's some brain-blip going on in the kitchen. I, too, have had a bland tasteless crabcake and steak with no seasoning at Clarke's. But I've also had a very good steak and excellent seafood there, too. I think one of their preps omits things at random or something.

Blue Wind Gourmet has one of the best crabcakes I've ever eaten, and they didn't even place.

Why is a crab cake so difficult to make? K.I.S.S. I don't want a coulis sauce or wasabi or pimentos in or near mine; and I don’t want pasteurized crab meat. Gheeze Louise, a good crab cake has less than 6 ingredients a great crab cake has 5-WTH? :cds:

Same here, my daughter and I went there last year and it was terrible. So is Dry Dock in Solomons. Atmosphere is nice, but food is lousy, imo.

Oh, this is such a peeve! :jameo:

You go somewhere outside of MD, oh let's say Florida, and they have a "Maryland Crabcake" on their menu which is made with chopped green pepper :burning: minced onion :mad: CELERY!!! :cds:

It just makes me want to punch someone in the face.

:yeahthat: It's hard to top Blue Wind's crab cakes.

I never..order a crabcake when I go to a restaurant..never.
1. I won't waste my tastebuds and 2. I won't waste my $$ (I'm not an effing rich person :rolleyes:)
Steamed crabs are another issue, I can only think of a couple of places I can/would eat steamed crabs.

I wonder where they will place this year.
:confused: Didn't even notice that was from last year. Why is it front page now?:buddies:

:yeahthat: It's hard to top Blue Wind's crab cakes.

I go so far as to have Rob make me up 3 pounds at a time and bring it as a 'present' when visiting friends and family. Whatever doesn't get used (which is rare) gets make into patties and frozen. When thawed, they are still better than most crab cakes you can get locally.

How much does 3lb of crab cake go for?

Crabknockers puts green pepper in their CC also. Never understood that.

Price changes all the time depending on what he pays for it, and I honestly don't recall what I paid last time.

I myself have never had anything but great crab cakes at Clark's Landing. They also did the food for my rehersal dinner and all the guests are still talking about how good the food was. :shrug:

No idea. :shrug:

That's what you call a deer with no eyes.

Dinner is whenever you get your tush up to Blue Wind and get one fresh! A single crabcake sammich is dirt cheap, done in a few minutes and no cleanup! Even comes with a salad!

Never, EVER order a "Maryland Crabcake" anywhere other than in Maryland! :nono:

(Jumbo lump, mayo, egg, spicy brown mustard, Old Bay & small amount of white bread to bind)

I call them (restauranteurs) out on it when I travel to Florida. Same with MD style crabs, I always ask what is MD style and they say :blahblah: and crab seasoning. I ask what seasoning is it and it is almost never Old Bay (found it used once). After telling them what I really think about their false advertising I leave and find a different place to eat.

Interestingly enough, one of the best crabcakes I've ever had was in a small restaurant in OBX during the off-season.

I agree with you Alice, some folks can't boil water let alone take on making a decent, let alone GREAT crabcake. :yay:

A McDonalds Fish Filet sammich?






:huggy:

Okay, so I've lived in MD for about 6 years now, SoMd for about 3 and I've yet to try a crabcake...I live in Hughesville and want to try one, where can/should I order one to be my first? I've never been big on seafood, don't care for shrimp, but love fish and I've tried lobster once on steak and that was okay...but you guys got me curious, where should i try one that is good?

different places...different taste.. and different peoples likes


I like the Ruddy Ducks...it had great flavor, it was creamy tasting, LOTS OF crab meat... almost no filler...how they got it to stick together was amazing.


I have had stoneys... its not bad... was better a few years ago. not creamy tasting, but not dry, chunks of crab meat..and not bad on the filler.

The best one that I had was at Bowens Inn in Solomons Island. Huge crabcake, all lump meat, no filler and delicious, all for $ 10.00. Sadly, there was a fire and I dont think they rebuilt. I've heard Jerry's in PF is really good and I think I saw it on here, The Back Creek Bistro in Dowell.

I tried the crab cake sandwich last night. It was good not great. Not very flavorful. At $20.50 it should have been bigger. But their fries are the best ever.
