A List of All Time Best Crab Cakes

A List of All Time Best Crab Cakes…Ever (in no particular order):

Sunrise Seafood Market, Avon, NC (prepared in-house by Mark, not to be missed, and ready to take home and cook; pair with his house-made remoulade).

Turtle Shack Cafe, Flagler Beach, FL (do not be put off by the looks, and forego the burger; the chef/owner serves fresh lump crab cakes, no filler, perfectly browned).

Black Pearl, Galveston, TX (slightly upscale restaurant located in The Strand offers fresh seafood and crab cakes, no filler, done to perfection).

Katie’s Restaurant, New Orleans, LA (a great neighborhood restaurant offering a good selection of fresh seafood and Cajun style crab cakes, no filler).NOTE-Removed from Best Crabcakes as of July 2020 due to filler now in Crab Cakes-Disappointing.

Arby’s Dockside Grill (soft shell crabs off the boat), Deal Island, MD (unassuming café on the docks offers off-the-boat softshell crabs flash fried).

Bayside Inn Restaurant(crab cakes & soft shell crabs), Smith Island, Ewell, MD (well worth the ferry trip to Ewell on Smith Island for the best tasting softshell crab and crab cakes, no filler).

High Cotton, Charleston, SC (upscale fine dining with locally sourced food offers a fine presentation of a crab cake (no filler) Benedict, simply a great Low Country twist on a Maryland favorite)..

Gilligan’s Waterfront Restaurant, Lewes, DE (a superb large round ball of crab cake, no filler, flash fried served with their own version of tarter sauce).

Catch 54(crab cakes & soft shell crab), Fenwick Island, DE (fresh crab cake, no filler, served on a fresh garden salad; the softshell crab was flash fried to a perfect brown and served with their own exclusive tarter sauce).

Blue Point Restaurant, Duck, NC, an upscale local restaurant located directly on Currituck Sound on the Duck Town Park Boardwalk, serves fresh crab cake, no filler, perfectly browned and seasoned to delight the palate.
