Been a long time since I read any Hemingway, Kevin. I don't recall whether there was a crabcake recipe or not.

Oh, well. What's another trip to the library. :rolleyes:

I never heard of Old Bay, I Love crab-cakes. I have never made them before. I always bought them frozen & had them in restaurants at brunch. All these recipes sound really good, mm Cookie

Cookie, Old Bay is available in just about every supermarket in America. You should have no trouble finding it.

Originated by the Baltimore Spice Co. more than 60 years ago and now owned and packaged by McCormack, Old Bay is a seasoning mix particularly formulated for seafood, but good for poultry and meats as well.

Ingredients are celery salt, mustard, red pepper, black pepper, bay leaves, cloves, allspice, ginger, mace, cardamom, cinnamon, and paprika.

Making your own crabcakes isn't difficult. Anyone who can make a hamburger can do it. The trick is to keep the filler content as small as possible, so that you taste crab rather than breadcrumbs. And to use real crabmeat. The make-believe stuff won't work.

Thanks I will look for Old Bay. I love the ingredient's. I use McCormick all the time different spices. Cookie

Truth to tell, Cookie, Old Bay is one of the very few seasoning mixes that I buy. Usually I prefer making my own blends. But this one is just so perfect for the purpose there's no need to play around.
