Crab cakes are a type of fishcake originating in the United States that is popular there. Crab cakes are generally regarded as originating from around the Chesapeake Bay, particularly in Maryland and Virginia. Although the term “crab cake” has been used since 1939 by Crosby Gaige in New York World’s Fair Cook Book to describe “Baltimore crab cakes,” earlier usages can be found, such as in Thomas J. Murrey’s book Cookery with a Chafing Dish published in 1891.
Most crab cakes are served with some type of sauce or dipping agent. Common sauces include tartar sauce, remoulade, and cocktail sauce. Crab cakes are generally fried but can be cooked easily on an Outdoor Grill or Griddle and can be served plain or with a lemon wedge.
