I have been wanting to eat a good Maryland crab cake since we moved here. But, I haven’t really went to a good seafood restaurant besides Philippe’s (which is a buffet, so it’s crab cakes are kinda mass produced).
After a day driving to the coast today we decided to end the day with crab cakes. We spotted a restaurant from the road that looked pretty authentic and went for it.
I started the meal with a soft roll with butta…melty butta.
And of course the highlight of dinner was my crab cake. I ordered it broiled and could taste all the flavors and goodness of the crab.
I can be weird about certain seafood, but I LOVED it! This cake was all crab and little filler. When I cut into it it flaked apart perfectly. Good, so good. I am really glad that I ate a quality, delicious Maryland crab cake during my time here 🙂 On the side I ordered a baked potato and a salad. I eat baked potatoes with ketchup, anyone else do this? I’m not the biggest fan of restaurant “garden” salads because their garden’s don’t have much variety. If I had a garden I would plant more then just ice burg lettuce…just saying.
Our last stop on the beach day was Ocean City, MD. We went to the boardwalk and walked around a bit. There were tons of souvenir shops and even more Candy Kitchens and Ice cream vendors. I only have this pic I took from the car because I didn’t bring the camera walking around.
P.S. While driving I saw a sign that said Burger King had free wi-fi. Well, the internet required a pass code to use, so I had to buy something. I bought this “iced mocha” aka Yoo-Hoo drink and passed it on to Ben. But, I want brownie cookie points for buying this so I could post 🙂
Ben and I have a two hour drive ahead of us and will probably stop for a treat somewhere…TBD

i LOVE LOVE LOVE your thoughts on “garden” salads from eating establishments.
this line- “If I had a garden I would plant more then just ice burg lettuce…just saying.” made me laugh out loud. SO TRUE.

P.S. I HATE sharing ice cream, even with my bf. The idea of licking off the same spoon is soooo creepy.

YES!! I do the ketchup and potato too! Sometimes as a salad dressing, cooked broccoli and everything else for that matter.

21 years in MD and I have never had a real crab cake ( frozen ones from Giant don’t count) That looks amazing :)!
Will you head back to the shore, when the weather is warm?

Ocean City, MD is such a gorgeous stretch of beach. I love Candy Kitchen’s saltwater taffy, and miss the Kite Loft – they always had awesome kites up and down the beach by their shop. I don’t know if that store still exists! If you have the chance before you leave MD – you should go to the boardwalk there when they are renting out bikes and bike up and down the walk – so much fun!
