Angelinas Restaurant
Harford Road Baltimore MD mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm good |
(Shameless plug ... )
Jake's Famous Crawfish in my hometown. I could swear that they sometimes have salmon cakes, but don't quote me. |
As a JHU alum, when I go back to Baltimore, I stick to an all crab cake diet and have to have them at least once at each of the following: Faidley's, Alonso's in Roland Park, McCabe's in Hampden, and Obrycki's in Fells Point. They are all different but they are all superb. Am still in mourning for the crab cakes (and Italian salad) at the recently closed Marconi's. Sometimes hit G&M on the way to the airport, but I agree with the person who said it is more about size than taste.

My personal fave is Gibby's in Timonium, MD. I miss those yummy crabcakes!
Now that I live back in CA, though, there has been nothing remotely close. Every restaurant thinks they need to add onions, celery, or other random junk into those delicious balls of crab. Why can't someone out here do it RIGHT?! |
Tampa Bay Crabcakes
I'm not wild about the restaurant "scene" in Tampa, but I have to admit (and a former Baltimoron as well) that Grillsmith in Clearwater has absolutely fantastic crabcakes. Probably 95% crab with just enough filler to keep it together. There's another location in Tampa, but haven't eaten there ...

I was in Baltimore this weekend and ventured out to eat crab cakes at both Faidley's (lexington market) and the G& M restaurant. I preferred the Faidley's though they both were very similar in size and content. the Faidley was a little crisper and had a slighly mustard taste to their secret crab cake recipe.
The best crab cake I had this weekend was at a restaurant in little Italy called Aldo's. 306 South High Street 410/727.0700 |
:D I buy crabcakes at Trader Joe's for two pack, frozen, at $2.99. They're decent, not restaurant quality of course, but the price is great and all you need to do it put it on a pan, wait till it goldens and it eat. :D

Angelina's in Baltimore. ^ The best. They also ship Fed Ex. We have them sent in every year for New Year's Eve dinner. :)
http://www.baltimoresun.com/entertai...,3397835.story Adios, Angelina's Although Angelina's on Harford Road hadn't been the restaurant it once was for several years, it was still sad to hear that this Baltimore fixture had closed and was being auctioned off next Wednesday, along with its famous crab-cake recipe. Interestingly, the crab cakes from the original recipe will still be sold over the Internet by Angelina's of Maryland at crabcake.com - why didn't I buy up that domain name a long time ago? Apparently, the Web business split from the restaurant a while back. D.J. Ruggles, one of the managing partners, told me that the original owner's family was still ordering its crab cakes from his site. |
Best ones I have had have to be the ones at Charlie's Crab - http://www.muer.com/

Unfortunately, only one person placed a bid and it was not accepted. The crab cake recipe is being sold with the restaurant although, you can still order them on the website.
http://www.baltimoresun.com/entertai...,3397835.story I found Angelina's several years ago when I was researching a place to stop for crab cakes on a road trip to DC. The group consensus was that they were superb, and I returned on every trip to Baltimore. This is very sad. Philips, another Baltimore seafood house, sells frozen crab cakes which are available at Costco, but the crab content has become skimpier in the last couple of years. |
I stopped in at G&M a couple of months ago for lunch. They have rennovated their space, and I don't like it. The current space looks like a 1991 diner. The old space was so bad it was actually fun.
The crab cake was very good. Has anybody tried the place inside security of the WN terminal at BWI? |
Where to go? A seafood restaurant I would think. :confused:

I never had a crab cake there though as we always just went for crabs. I'm going to guess that they are probably very good. |
