What is a PC Crab Cake?

PC crab cakes are a beloved Maryland staple, typically served as an appetizer or main course. "PC" stands for "picked crab," referring to the method of preparing the crab meat.

Ingredients:

  • Fresh Jumbo Lump Crabmeat
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Mayonnaise
  • Celery & Onion
  • Seasonings (Salt, Pepper, Paprika, Garlic, Lemon Juice)
  • Preparation:

    1. The fresh crabmeat is gently picked by hand, removing any shells or debris.

    2. The meat is then combined with seasoned breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chopped celery and onion, and other seasonings.

    3. The mixture is formed into small patties, usually around 3 inches in diameter.

    4. The crab cakes are then fried until golden brown and finished with a squeeze of lemon juice.

    Flavor & Texture:

    PC crab cakes have a delicate, sweet flavor with a hint of spice from the paprika and garlic. The texture is firm yet slightly custardy, with a delightful crab-y flavor throughout.
