Like a few others, saw the spotlight and it's a definite interest of mine! Got *lots* of old cookbooks, plus recipes handed down through the years.
It's crab season in Maryland, so here's a good one
Eastern Shore Crab Cakes
1 pound crab meat (lump or backfin)
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg
1/4 pound butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 hard-boiled egg
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
soft bread crumbs (2-3 slices, center only, no crust)
Put crab meat in bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add slightly beaten egg, melted butter, lemon juice, cut-up hard boiled egg, and Worcestershire sauce. Then add just enough soft bread crumbs to make it into cakes. Fry the cakes a golden brown in hot fat.
(This variant of crab cakes is from "Maryland's Way" published in 1963)
