  1. Some kind of cajun / chipotle / sriracha mayo or tartar sauce!

    Maybe a lemon caper sauce, or a classic remoulade

    I like a nice remoulade but a proper crab cake doesn’t really need a sauce.

    I like a homemade tartar sauce with plenty of capers, lemon juice, and fresh dill.

    A mustard aïoli with a splash of water of water hot sauce.

    Ideally none. As a Maryland native, I never put sauce on mine. If it’s well made it should be moist enough. I’m also reluctant to order a crab cake anywhere outside of the DMV/surrounding beaches.

    I like about a million lemons squeezed on top.

    mayo, horseradish, relish, lemon juice.

    Less of each as you read it

  9. If you don’t have Remouladde…… then Thousand Island works pretty good, certain Horseradish sauces work great too

    Remoulade or Plain old mustard (the Maryland way).

    One of my favorite steakhouses does a dill and lemon aioli with their crab cakes, and it’s perfect – bright and tangy, but not overpowering to the delicate flavor of the crab.

    Louis Dressing.

    mayo, chili sauce, diced onion, parsley, cayenne, heavy cream folded in

    No sauce needed if it’s a good crab cake! Maybe just a buttered bun if anything. Don’t ruin the flavor of the crab meat! 🤤

    Sundried tomato Aioli… yes all of my culinary experience is from the 90’s.

    Remoulade is the standard sauce when out dining
