The Best Way to Eat Crab Cakes at St. Pete Beach
Crab Cakes are a specialty seafood menu item that so many of us love, but there are different ways to make and eat Crab Cakes and everyone seems to have their own recipe. So, what is the best way to eat Crab Cakes at St. Pete Beach?
What Is a Crab Cake?
Let’s start with the basics. A crab cake is traditionally made of crab meat and other binding and flavoring ingredients. These ingredients typically include bread crumbs or crackers and eggs. Other common ingredients are mayonnaise, mustard, and other seasonings.Â
Maryland crab cakes, the most popular type of crab cakes, are typically made with Maryland Blue Crabs.
How Did Hamburgers Originate?
The term hamburger did (most likely) come from Hamburg, Germany. But this is only the beginning of the story, and the true hamburger had not yet been formulated. In Hamburg, the Hamburg steak (a patty made from beef, garlic, and onions) was served with gravy, onion, and potatoes, not with a bun or even bread.
How Do You Eat a Crab Cake?
You can eat a crab cake anyway you like, plain with a fork, on a salad, on a sandwich and more. But we think the very best way to eat a crab cake is at Burger-ish.
How to Reheat Crab Cakes
*Eat leftover crab cakes within 2 days. They should be in the fridge in a sealed container.Â
Don’t dry out your leftover crab cakes in the oven or microwave! If you have an air fryer, reheat at 350 for 3 to 5 minutes, flip the cakes around 2 minutes. Heat up your air fryer for a minute or two first for the best results.Â
Another method involves the oven (toaster oven works too). Preheat at 325. Place the crab cake(s) on aluminum foil with room in-between each cake. Put a small pat of salted butter on top. Use a pan with a lid or cover with foil. You can also add a pan of water in your oven to help keep them moist instead of foil or a lid. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes.Â
