Ingredients

3 cans (6 ounces each) crabmeat, drained, flaked and cartilage removed

You want a tasty crabcake just use the receipe on the Old Bay Seasoning can. I am a Marylander and we do not bread our crab cakes. You make mix some crumbs in with the crab meat but the above sounds like someone that has never eaten a Md crab cake.
