Truly.
If crab cakes are on the menu, I’m going to order them, whether from a high end restaurant to even a greasy spoon. Now, some are better than others, I will confess that, but there’s one restaurant in particular that stands out in my head for serving the best crab cake I’ve ever had in my life.
It was called The Lobster Dock located in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. I say “was” because it’s now closed. The chef/owner retired or something and closed up shop, leaving patrons like me wicked sad.

I mean, the nerve of this guy to pack it in….
He made delicious crab cakes and he knew it. It was on an episode of Beat Bobby Flay with the crab cake as the competing dish, and did indeed beat Bobby Flay.
That is how good these crab cakes were!
So in true fashion, I set out to TRY and replicate, or even come close to his recipe. I googled that episode trying to get the recipe. I watched it a couple times. That dude was pretty guarded. So then I turned to more research, scouring cookbooks and social media until I felt I had enough to work with for my own crab cake recipe.
To say it politely, I failed a few times with one attempt tasting more like canned chicken than fresh lump crab meat. Not sure what happened there, but certainly an epic fail.
Along with the fabulous crab cake, the chef topped each one with a corn / bell pepper/ relish of sorts that paired amazingly with the rémoulade. I’m telling you – at the risk of sounding too dramatic, I dang-near moaned with each bite.

As did everyone else.
After countless attempts at recreating this recipe, tweaking and re-tweaking at levels I had no idea could muster, I finally landed on a winner! Though I could not win if ever in competition with that guy, but I know my crab cake recipe would certainly receive a standing ovation. This is a recipe I make every single time we entertain, and if I don’t, then I’m questioned where said crab cakes are, when they’re coming out. The relish may seem odd to you, but trust me on this, it’s a game changer and compliments, enhances, and brings the whole crab cake thing in for a group hug.
I love crab.
