In this video, Chef John reveals the secret to a delicious crab cake—hardly any filler and big chunks o’ good fresh crab! You’ll see how to fold the crab into the slurry. (Incidentally, you will also learn what a “slurry” is.) These cakes are a little fall-aparty until you get them into the oil, but they are well worth it! Check out the recipe for Chef John's Crab Cakes. And one additional tip: for best results, be sure to use good quality crab for these cakes.

Looks fun to make and delicious. Just one caveat: be prepared to spend some money on crab meat.

Lived in Baltimore All my life. Been though so many crab cakes you wont believe. Mel is absolutely right, from one Marylander to another. However, I will let you in on one secret, I do not use bread crumbs. I pull out the food processor and through in some saltine crackers to server as the bread crumbs.

Love the HD camera. Recipe sounds wondeful. I always enjoy Chef John's videos.
