Really  
I had to think to remember where I've heard of em and remembered Lexington Market.  I may venture , but I have to say that any business must grow and expand if it's the best.  (Same stall at Lexington for years) and almost all their rave reviews were out of town publications. (Southern Living?!?! Come on. ) They do ship, it might be neat to have several crab houses ship me cakes and cooked all and compare.

Ya know, I just had to share to all you visitors and Maryland transplants, to become considered a local, you Must indulge in a Crab cake from G&M.  Just finish one with their fine cole slaw and apple sauce.  
Any body else got one better?? Be prepared to defend your suggestion.

I haven't had the opportunity, but I hear Faidley's Seafood has the best crab cakes according to the locals. Top of my list next time I visit Charm City.

I would have to agree with Mike, but keep in mind everyone's idea of a GREAT crabcake is different as someone who has grown up in Md. and has had my fair share( plus many) of crabcakes.  Great crabcakes have very little or no filling, they are made of Jumbo lump that is folded together NOT mixed up they are broiled not fried and they are not too big so the center gets cooked as well.  In Harford county there is Box Hill Pizzeria considered by many very good, Jimmy's seafood is also well known.  The key is to find what you consider the best...LOL

Box Hill is one I must try.  There is also By the Docks near Bengiies Drive in on Eastern Ave. and a surprising close fav of mine is a Mo's Seafood. Several restaurants around, and each serves a very nice consistant Crab Cake.   Down town at their restaurant on Presidents street they used serve a Platter with 8oz crab cake, crab imperial, snow crab legs, steamed shrimp baked potato and broccoli.  
Bon appetite'!

I'm sure the crab cakes listed are delicious, but the drive is too far for me and not worth the aggravation. I stick to the crab cakes in the frozen section of my local supermarkets. And they're not bad either.

I just threw up a little in the back of my throat.  Sir, I think never having a fresh crab cake as we have all advocated here or resorting to frozen swill available in a grocer are the same thing. ;-)

Yes for the sake of your taste buds order Crabcakes from one of the establishments listed above and forego the swill you pickup at the local grocer.  
We need a new thread on Crabcake intervention ;-)

Yes, you certainly have a highbrow palate, but I could have sworn I saw you recently at the 7-Eleven picking up a few beef tacitos and a Slurpee......

Onward

Nay nay sir,  
Not since my college days have I partaken the swill from 7-11.  But that was the Beef and Bean burritos I so devoured after a late night out.  , Taquitos hadn't been invented yet  😆

Some people try to over do it when it comes to crab cakes. Many add too much CRAP to them thus overpowering the crab taste. Keep it simple and the crab cake will be awesome. I always mix crab meat with backfin lump and lump. Sometimes I even mix the backfin lump with special. I keep mine very simple with mayo, Dijon mustard, eggs, and old bay and maybe a hint of Italian bread crumbs depending on how moist the mixture becomes. I don't measure anything and do it all by eye. Using this as a judging tool I have had the best result at Pappa's, very moist and little to no filler. Great crab taste.
