Another vote for Costco crab cakes
Nooooooooooo!
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.

My wife just made (okay let's say heated) some of these crab cakes from Costco. I won't say they are all crab but there were definitely some chunks the size of my index finger tip. Better than any other store bought crab cakes I have had in the past. In a pinch they are an easy cheap meal with a bottle of wine on a Friday night after work. Enjoy.

But I do know the last one I had wasn't made from canned pasteurized crab harvested on the other side of the world.

best in baltimore?
best ive had are jerry's. edged out best in annapolis, although i forget the name of that place.
best chain restaurants = great american restaurants in northern VA. coastal flats is best, because its 1 crabcake, instead of usual 2. but arties and carlyle have weekend brunch with great "crabcakes benedict."
anyone tried redrock canyon grill?

The only restaurants i am familiar with that serves MARYLAND crab cakes are the Black chain(black salt, etc). mccormic and schmick claim sea of cortez crab, and my beloved blue duck claim viet, la. i do not know if they mean la, or viet nam. every place else just serves delicious crab cakes with little or no filler.

I was surprised the first time I ever ate their crabcakes. They were wonderful, mostly crab. On a night I don't know what I want, I find myself driving there and having their wonderful bread, crabcakes, chopped salad, and a pinot grigio. Yum!
