Maryland Crab Cake Recipe from a true Marylander

Here is the authentic crab cake recipe from a true Marylander! We use only Maryland Blue crab. It must be lump crab meat, also called back fin. In other words, no claw meat.

Also, you must use Old Bay seafood seasoning.  Old Bay is made by the McCormick spice company and is a staple in Maryland cooking.
