  1. I was thinking you were a good cook until I saw this. Please please please never make crab cakes again.

    Thank you,
    Maryland.

  2. These should be at least 5.50 minimum a piece considering all ingredients u need to make.

  3. If the crab meat is good quality, baked/broiled always tastes better than fried.

  4. Who the hell makes crabcakes with dungeness crab and a freaking remoulade? If you need to serve any kind of sauce with crabcakes, then there is something wrong with the crabcake. We don't do that here in Maryland. And we only use Maryland Blue Crab!!!!

  5. As an English person I always laugh when Josh struggles with the name of Worcestershire sauce. 😂 He is not the only one, every US chef on YouTube does. I like the way he jokes about it.

  6. Really, Huh Huh Huh, that ain't no real crabcake, or as you incorrectly state "cakes of crab" True crabcakes are expensive because there should be Maryland Crabmeat.. Anything else is bs. Kinda like the proverbial "wish sandwich"

  7. I do them different. I like a potato-crab cake instead of these. Guess it is what you grow up with.

    I take about a pound of boiled mashed potato and thoroughly mix in a 1/2 pound of crab plus 1 egg and seasoning. Then in a dish seeled well and in the fridge for 24 hours. The crab flavours everything.

    Little butter and fry til brown both sides.

  8. Ok. So for the cheapest cake, go to dollar tree and buy a couple cans of canned mackrel and show us what you can turn it into?!?!?!

  9. Blah Blah Blah… Recipe… Blah Blah Blah… Result… Blah Blah Blah… Opinion… Blah Blah Blah… and then Blah Blah Blah. Whew! 3 minutes of content and 7 minutes of Blah Blah Blah. YouTubers

  10. I was missing crab cakes. Been to the South where they were the bomb. A few years removed, I went with the fresh pasteurized kind. The cost is stupid at $40/lb. The cakes came out perfect as did the remoulade. Great taste, but not a cost most folks would chose to spend. Maybe salmon Pattie’s a more reasonably priced side?

  11. This might be a stupid question but I'm having a hard time googling it. I assume the fresh crab is broiled or steamed first and not raw? Its just not mentioned here or in any other recipe so I want to verify. They all just say "have this amount of crab meat".

  12. As a MD resident, Dungeness is a no-no and pasteurized crab is a last resort. FRESH PICKED blue crab, 2lbs lump and 1lb backfin. Also, crackers are a side, not a filling.

  13. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I made this tonight and my daughter said, “it tastes sooo much better than any crab cakes I have had at restaurants before!”
    Legit good stuff👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

  14. Hi Joshua, thank you for sharing this recipe. I like your sense of humor. I recently moved outside of the States and I miss crab cakes deeply. I look forward to making this recipe tonight.
