Crab Cakes Recipe - How to Make Crab Cakes

[spacecarb]

I would do anything for a krabby patty

[Katzt2]

Looks good.. I only have the canned crab so I will just have to improvise and maybe use panko for the breading.. should be interesting

[0004312000]

It is so funny hearing Americans trying to pronounce Worcestershire sauce, still the recipe looks quite good, although I wouldn't use fine bread crumbs, but I guess that is a personal preference

[kzam90]

has this guy ever heard of olive oil...he cooks everything with butter.

[0004312000]

@kzam90 Olive Oil should not be used for frying, it has a low smoking point (although out of some reason TV chefs haven't heard of that while I actually learned it while becoming a chef), virgin coconut oil or basic Vegetable Oil (Sunflower, Soy, Rapseed etc.). But there is nothing wrong with a bit of Butter. Also the flavour of Olive Oil could easily overpower the delicate flavour the crab has, which Butter or Vegetable Oil won't.

NUU! you didn't eat your masterpiece D: your videos are not complete without you eating it!

[kighin]

get back in the mouth, saliva!

[klwneu]

I was lying hamburger with a slice of apple tastes like S%#T!

[klwneu]

a hamburger with a slice of apple is good also but not all the time and certainly nothing to brag over.

[klwneu]

good crab cakes are one of the toughest things to make so over the years chefs have used less and less batter and breading. So they won't end up bad and they do if you don't cook them right they really are one type of prepared food that is not edible if cooked wrong. They become greasy and the grease is all that is left. But that does not mean to reduce the amount of breading/batter. Just learn how to cook them right. If at first you don't succeed; try and try again!

[klwneu]

I know that its a new fad. Making crab cakes with nothing but crab. But I think the fad is over with me. Really the batter breading is what makes a crab cake good to me. Honestly why not make hamburgers without a bun or pizza without the toppings. That pure holistic approach does not work for my pallet. It just becomes that naked apple with nothing was a recipe. When I could have apple crisp but I won't because its not the cool thing.

[fixiebiker25]

Thank you for the

Step by step am going to like ur video

[18QueenHearts]

U must not let the crab cake win......lol...i love dis..thanks for the step by step!!

[liddolesley]

i think it's a waste to use good crabs for crab cake. Good crabs should be tasted in its original form..

[tbmagis]

@liddolesley I'm with you. IF you only get it once in a while...like MOST of us (probably), I do the opposite.

[MVuc9]

dammit... made crap cakes instead...

[golfmaniac007]

crab cakes are so overrated. sounds good on menu but the taste of crab should be eaten by itself. its expensive so you should enjoy the pure taste of crab.

[youcandance12345]

i'm drooling.

[mazovi71]

"dont make crab cakes...with a crapy crab." ahhaah it made my day

[7880526]

You sound like John Goodman!!

[seanoil]

@7880526  No, not John Goodman. He sounds like Tom Bodett of the Motel 6 radio commercials!!!

[ColoredGrayscale]

Why am I watching this?

I'm allergic to crab.

[pandalova1999]

Can we use immatation crab meat??? Please reply back. :D

[coppercrabofficial]

I'm a crab and I feel offended by this.

[TroysKitchen]

Yep.......This is a good Crab Cake...... If you can deep fry it is junk. must figure about 70% crab meat...1/2 claw & 1/2 lump..... you could also use this as a crab stuffing for flounder, lobster ect........ Great Job Chef John.

[pandalova1999]

[RocknLauncher017]

[violinwesley]

NOoo you didn't eat it! xD

[michaelhollier]

I like your mommy jokes as much as I like his crab cake. Just don't eat anyone's crappy crab mommy. What she really wants is more filler. Ok back to cooken. Lol

[godserens]

ill hire u 10 dollar a day

[watercreator]

okay don't shoot me but i am poor and made this with the canned lump crab yesterday and it came out fabulous! (had to remember to squeeze out excess water) To add more volume since i had 6 guests i added cut up Portebella mushrooms ugh sooo good! I also used seasoned panko bread crumbs for the outside and some inside. i then made them semi thin to look bigger. Someone was dipping them in cucumber ranch and it was amazing!

[doelstu]

@watercreator Thanks for this. No way we could afford the crab meat used here. The portebellas are a great idea.

[trouble1macker202]

@watercreator I'm sure Chef John would encourage this. Food is meant to experiment with. Sounds awesome.

[labarbin13]

never mind! you answered me lol

[labarbin13]

is that fresh crab or is it frozen?

[taemintified]

guess what's gonna ruin this video?

you went home and asked your mom what's for dinner, so she spread her legs open and said crabs.

[teddybearzh]

XD 1:33 "don't make crab cake with crappy crab" its gonna be my new tongue twister

[kissiebooashes]

I am a Marylander and I approve this video.

[beyondtheveilxx]

do not make crabcakes crappy crab FTW!

do not let the crab cake win!

[fLiRtKiNg008]

USE MORE FILLER AND IT WONT BREAK APART DUH!

[faceofug]

[faceofug]

U sound like the man f

[coloristacosmetics]

dont make crab cakes with crappy crab 

[3ngin321]

some o.o.o.o.o.old bay seasoning.. not new bay, o.o.o.old bay :D I love Chef John!

[sanjieev]

I thought chef John teaching all those delicious food was torture, now it on HD and its 10 times worst!!!

[cindyting20]

dont make crab cake with crappy crab. hahahaha

[soundclik43030]

ok this is what makes me so frustrated. If you purchase a steak, it will cost you (USA-Midwest) anywhere from $#6.99 - $15.99/lb. You purchase one ny strip it will cost you a good $6.79-$8.99 for one ONE! But if you purchase some snow crab it will cost anywhere from $8.99 - $12.99/lb. HOWEVER people will say you are splurging when you buy crab, but they don't thing a single $12.99 steak....is a splurge...what????

[MrMicraphone]

@soundclik43030 what frustrates me is that they both aren't $3.00 a lb .. : )

[soundclik43030]

@MrMicraphone lol..yep!

[MrMicraphone]

Shhh ! Old bay is the Secret !

[soundclik43030]

@MrMicraphone shhhhh....ok got it...

[soappop]

14 mr.Krabs are mad because foodwishes found out the Krabby Patty secrete Recipie.

[Antiks72]

The crab cake is a lie.

[val7117]

eh, i make mine with panko, chopped cilantro, diced roasted red bell peppers, lime juice, and green onions mixed in. That up there is too simple for my taste, but I like the idea of not breaking apart the claw meat. More is more lol :)

[96JUSTIN]

damn that looks sooooo good

[204lando]

panko bread crumbs insted youll like them better

[HansBooBee]

Crappy crab sucks!

[kawaiipapillon]

*mouth waters*

[tenminutetaxi]

Ok, normally I would never comment on a video like this, but I must. The camera is great, the recipe is fantastic and simple, and the best part is your delivery. Funny, "smartassed" and talented cook. Well done

[2pinkribbons]

If you are in MD or passing through nothin compairs to a Carriage House Inn, (Emmitsburg, MD) Crab Cake, no filler, n by that no bread crumbs, just juicy lump MD crab meat a few other ingredients, Ohhh So Worth it!!!!!!

[missmorgan04]

OOOOLD BAY!! NOT NEW BAY, OOOOOLD BAY!!! LMAO!

[MzCapricorn26]

[austinwang302]

[enexar04]

Sounds like cooking with Seth Rogan

[SoothsayerYT]

I love the taste of the crab guts with the meat. Is there any recipe that includes those yummy guts?

[kiminokami]

@SoothsayerYT Yes. When you add the crab meat, add the crab guts, too. ;)

[muffinodiefryfry]

What if we really like imitation crab? We could still use it couldn't we?

[kiminokami]

@muffinodiefryfry You can use whatever you want, but in my opinion, getting a taste of the real thing snaps you out of living in a fantasy world where you pretend that imitation "feels so real."

[TheNewShayTard]

turned out delish thanks john your totally awsome lol

[PlatypusGuitar]

@librarian5602 in in montreal canada and here fresh crab is 25-30$ a pound. Sometimes it comes on special and we can get it half price but very rarely. Lobster is more affordable.

[idontplayamusic]

Thanks man I guess I am lucky because I happen to have all those extra ingredients, and had no idea how to make crab cakes!!!

[The2ndKrezzz3]

BLUE CRAB ONLY!!!!!!!!

[jbadal1]

Remember kids, always get your seafood fresh from a guy named Vinny out of a trunk of a car.

[phemyda94]

I watched this because I was hungry, and now I'm more hungry.

[cooknmama]

I used royal lump crab meat in a can and it worked just fine for me so I don't think u necessarily need fresh from the bay crab but I do admit it is better that way

[zerenitythoughts]

@cooknmama yea because i have no clue how to cook crab nor did i want to go to all that trouble but money is tight and i want some crab cakes dangit! lol but a can i can do!

[Jtapangxx90]

instead of the crab meat he's using, can I use imitation crab meat?

[Tipable97]

@Jtapangxx90 no

[rtask]

@Jtapangxx90 no, it wont taste anything like crab cakes if you use imitation. if you must, use canned at the very least.

[CHANGO199401]

I was making these with my children and everything was going good until we got to the "making the patties" part of it and they just totally crumbled and we could make them into a patty and they just was all messed up!! THE CRAB CAKE WON!! T.T

[dljones33]

You have to wiggle your voice when you add the "Old Bay."

[jollybaby18]

@librarian5602 Omg you made me laugh!! But you can cook the crab cakes now because the video is showing you no need for violence :D God I'm so hungry!!

[babymaivang]

thank you, u make this sound very simple but we'll see how i do lol great instruction :)

[MiaSW]

This recipe is far to delightful to cover with tarter sauce, but i suppose if you made your own that would be acceptable.

[TheVittleVlog]

Super recipe!!!

[KttnCatDasha]

I wonder what crab cakes tastes like. i mean they're mostly crab right foodwishes, n u dont use newbay =.= so it must taste like chicken..... UR jokes are as retarded as mine

@tepsampedro How did your date go? :D

[tepsampedro]

@jollybaby18 well, she left me a 2 weeks ago because she wanted to be with "real men". it's sad that girls these days would rather be with jerks than guys who love and respect them. :(

[jollybaby18]

@tepsampedro LOL she did not said that silly. Did she really say those exact words? :D Oh well there are millions of beautiful women on our planet. One stupid dumb heartless bitch won't matter :P How did your crab cakes turn out? :o

[cecilecakes629]

[da3coons]

wow :0

[pyromaniackid1]

the only non-crappy blue crab comes from the bay right here in maryland! :)

[klaustopher1]

@pyromaniackid1 You must not know most blue crab in Maryland, comes from the gulf coast... I bet the price is gonna jump now that there's not gonna be any gulf crabs...

[pyromaniackid1]

@klaustopher1 but the good ones come from right here in the bay

[klaustopher1]

@pyromaniackid1 Nope they are the same crab. Being in Maryland does not make them better. I would look just as stupid, if I tried to say the ones here, are better than the ones there.

[pyromaniackid1]

@klaustopher1 well whatever. also i hate going to reply to a comment then pressing the like button. thumbs up if that happens to you!

[Miscreant435]

a Maryland tradition,use to live in the state...

been wanting to make this ,after watching this video ,now i'm gonna....

[robeconrad]

That looks really good but wheres the video for how to make the sauce that you put on the crab cakes?

[TheUploader1]

@missrobertha1 :(

[TheUploader1]

Note to self: DONT WATCH THESE VIDEOS ON AN EMPTY STOMACH! :(

[tora604]

Panko works well too, instead of breadcrumbs.

[meganmedical]

A Megan Medical Health recommended video- Old schoool Crab Cakes.....MMMMm.

[sosawhatzup]

Is it okay if I skip the salt(or put very little)? Will it ruin the food? I noticed that a lot of the recipes on foodwishes requires salt.

[pyromaniackid1]

@sosawhatzup almost everything contains salt

[Jaramo1]

Now, we have this Delicious Enemy Crab Cake here, now, what you want to do is, set the butter to its boiling point for massive deliciousness.

[J8Tify]

How else loves the way he says OLDDDDDDDDDD in that trembly voice whenever he says it in the video?! ^^

[sjsawyer]

I've noticed from watching at least 60 of Chef John's recipes that he really loves his salt, so keep that in mind when cooking directly from his videos!

[HansBooBee]

Don't use crappy crab!
