Crab – Hell’s Kitchen Recipes

This Gordon Ramsay crab cake recipe is made with “lump crab meat” or “backfin crab meat.” This is the white sweet crab meat that comes from the body of the crab. The other meat is “claw meat” and comes from the claws or legs of the crab. You can use any meat from the crab you want, but true Marylanders will demand that you only use backfin crabmeat when making Maryland Crab Cakes. But, Is claw or lump crab meat better? Lump crab meat is more expensive than claw meat. But generally, when making crab cakes, adding a percentage of claw meat to the recipe is better because claw meat has a more potent crab flavor. Claw is preferred when making recipes like soups, dips, and mixing into crab cakes with either jumbo lump or backfin.
