crabcakes
Fried crustacean rounds
Crabcakes are patties of crab meat mixed with binders like egg and breadcrumbs, then fried or baked.
A staple of Chesapeake Bay cuisine, particularly Maryland, where the ratio of crab to filler is a point of regional pride: These crabcakes are all meat, no filler.
Often served with remoulade or tartar sauce.
