The Top 100 List: #67 Oceanaire’s “Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes”
Oceanaire’s “Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes”
Location: Downtown
Rating: 7 (out of 10)
Price: $16 (appetizer)
The Skinny: Lots of hype around this dish. When talking to other foodies, a few pointed to these crab cakes as their favorite on the whole must-eat list. And certainly a $31 price tag for the dinner portion (2 cakes) makes that promise. But for me, it didn’t match up to the hype.
Don’t get me wrong – it was good. Probably even very good. The best bites were silky and tender, the soft pearls of crab barely held together by fillings. It was almost a naked crab mound, except for the tiny bit of mayo, egg and bread. But it’s this simplicity that some love about the dish that I didn’t. I like my crab cakes to have a crunch and a “bite” to the seared outside. It’s the blending of the soft and crispy textures that hooks me. This was more one-note. My apologies to Denver’s crab connoisseurs.
AGREE OR DISAGREE?

Agree with this one 100%, it reminded me more of a crab salad, than crab cake…growing up with a Grandma from Georgia, cake cakes are always fried.

Honestly, there are none in Colorado, I’d write home about. Being from the coast, makes me picky about seafood, as I used to walk to the marina daily and pick my seafood out live. That said, http://www.gertrudesrestaurant.com/ in the Springs, is pretty good, not great, but worth ordering, I’d say a 6, a bit heavy on the celery in my opinion, but a good balance of mayo and a nice crust. I have ordered from http://www.crabcakes.com/ and been surprised at the Quality, I still think it loses a bit in transportation, but what flash frozen food doesn’t.

Next, insert a foam ball on the dowel to the base and cover with
fake moss or shred in a complementary color. We added more tulip bulbs that fall as well as
in the spring, we added petunias, impatiens, and begonias.

The Oceanaire calls these “Chesapeake Style Crab Cakes”, which is exactly what they serve: mostly crab, a little egg and mayo to hold it together. That’s it. There is nothing wrong with this simple, perfect combination. Growing up on the Chesapeake I can guarantee you this would be considered a topnotch crab cake in Annapolis.

My husband and i felt absolutely thrilled when Michael managed to carry out his investigations from your precious recommendations he acquired when using the weblog. It is now and again perplexing just to possibly be giving out tips and hints which often many others may have been making money from. So we understand we need the writer to be grateful to because of that. Those illustrations you’ve made, the simple web site navigation, the relationships you will help instill – it is all great, and it’s really aiding our son in addition to the family do think this idea is entertaining, and that’s wonderfully indispensable. Many thanks for all!
