Pffft. I heard this yesterday morning. He makes fru-fru crab cakes for the diners in his fancy little restaurant located in the art museum. Most east Baltimore grandmothers have forgotten more about crab cakes than this guy will ever know.
So, I finally find a fantastic crab cake recipe with almost no filler and now "real" crab (at Coastal Seafood in refrigerated cans) is up to $50 for a pound of lump crab meat. Even with their "20% off all crab" Wednesdays, that's so damned expensive. A clerk there told me they stopped ordering king crab legs because they'd have to charge near $100 a pound. WTF?
I went crabbing with my gf and her dad about a month ago. Oregon coast Dungeness crab. We kept 16 legal size crabs. We got home that night, killed and cleaned them and made the best crab cakes I've ever had!
If you get the chance, catch them yourself. It's a fun way to kill an afternoon and the results are delicious!
My best friend was a Chesapeake oysterman before the big operations pushed him out. We go trot lining on the Connecticut shore for blue crab. He's a master at pulling food out of the ocean.
But the last time we went, one big crab got out of the bucket. We knew right away that this crab was the crab version of Bruce Willis. He had skills. While I was wrestling him back in the bucket, he jumped on me, crawled up my arm to my right shoulder and jumped on the boat console. There he stood, claws out. Yippee Ki Yay, motherfarker.
When I finally netted him, I threw him back in the tidal stream we were working.
Darwin cuts both ways. I want a world where delicious crab fight with creativity and courage. Let's hope he is a total dog with the ladies.
I can deal with tofu filler if the rest is real and fresh... that way I can taste the awesomeness and maybe make it a bit more sustainable as well. Done right, I don't see the problem.

Some years back, a buddy's Cajun dad was hosting a crawfish boil at the buddy's house. Well, we're eating appetizers and knocking back beers and jalapeno gin martinis, when the little yappy dog at the house starts going apeshiat along the fence.
One of the crawfish had somehow escaped and was hauling ass down the fence line. We all figured anything with that much tenacity deserved to live, so the dog was restrained, and we wished him good fortunes in finding a local female and getting himself a nice hole set up.

A Jewish dude who lost his original business due to the Nazis wound up in Baltimore. He worked briefly at McCormick. When they found out he was a Jew they fired him. After that he started his own company and marketed the original Old Bay seasoning.

When I was younger I always put out crab pots when salmon fishing off Meadow Point. That's Shilshole, or Golden Gardens beach in Seattle.
One time I let the dungies out in the back yard to see what would happen. My dog who had been fishing with us got nosy and was nipped on the nose pretty good. That crab got to be the first in line and we all feasted that day on grilled salmon and buttery crab.
Sounds pretty metal when I type it out. Except \m/ Dio \m/ would have called that crab the last in line.

They should blend it with artificial crab and advertise it as such if crab is too expensive. I'm all for new creative recipes but I don't need no 'damn hippie bean crap' in my crab cake.

The crab cakes I served at my restaurant were half jumbo lump crab and half surimi. Surimi is a white fish with almost no flavor and the consistency is similar to crab. Nobody ever knew. They hogged em down.
