Thank you for your help. PS: I am willing to trade a traditional, authentic, multi-generational Texan or Tex-Mex recipe.

Ingredients:
1 pound Maryland Crab meat
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 large egg
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Margarine, butter, or oil for frying
Remove all cartilage from crabmeat
In a bowl, mix bread crumbs, eggs, mayonnaise and seasonings.
Add crab meat and mix gently by thoroughly. If mixture is too dry, add a little more mayonnaise. Shape into 6 cakes. Cook cakes in a frying pan in just enough fat to prevent sticking until they are browned (about 5 minutes on each side).
*Note: If desired, crab cakes may be deep fried at 350 degrees for 2 to 3 minutes or until browned.

I found this through a websearch. Will be trying this one myself.

If you're looking for a quick fix, the Handy Crab Cakes available at Costco are very good (from Crisfield, Md).

And yes I do know what I'm talking about, I was born and raised in Easton, Md... 4th generation Eastern Shoreman.

If you are looking for traditional, authentic Maryland Cuisine, you need to find a cookbook called "The Maryland Way" cookbook. It has local recipes dating back to the colonial era.

BTW, a real Maryland crabcake does not have bread crumbs in it. If you absolutely feel you need it, substitute crushed up saltine crackers instead. You'll be glad you did.

P.S. If you manage to find the cookbook, try the Southern Maryland Stuffed Ham. It is out-of-this-world delicious and not really well-known outside of southern Maryland.

Try this one...very easy, ONE pan dish..

ORANGE CHICKEN

4 skinless chicken breasts
1 can mandarin orange sections..drained
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth ( low salt )
1 cup orange juice
olive oil
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 medium shallots finely chopped, ( or you can use one medium onion..I prefer Vidalia)

1/4 cup dry white white..

On counter top, wrap chicken breast with saran wrap and lighty flatten with a large heavy pan..this makes sure thickness is uniform, and chicken cooks evenly

season chicken with salt and pepper, and lightly flour, shaking off excess flour

In a large skillet, medium/high heat, add about 3-4 tbsp olive oil..when just shimmering..add chicken breasts..2 1/2 minutes ..then turn for additional 2 1/2 minutes..do not shake/move chicken..you want the color/crust to form

Remove chicken to a plate..

deglaze with wine...till most is gone..scraping pan with woooden spoon to loosen fond.. Add chicken broth, cream, and orange juice to the skillet, turn heat to high...as it just starts to boil..reduce to simmer..add back chicken to the pan, ( and add any juices from the plate as well..)

simmer covered, for 10 minutes

with three minutes left, add parsley and the orange sections..taste..add salt and pepper to taste..finish the last three minutes uncovered.. For the weight/health conscious...you can substitute plain yogurt for the cream..

Crab Cakes or Fritters Recipe courtesy Alton Brown
Show: Good Eats
Episode: Crustacean Nation III

Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 7 minutes
Yield: 4 to 6 cakes, 16 fritters

1 cup lump or backfin crabmeat
1 cup special crabmeat (small pieces white crabmeat)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying

If using a deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 375 degrees F.
In a bowl combine the crabmeat, mayonnaise, and pepper. Form into either 1-ounce balls for fritters or into 3-ounce cakes. Roll in the panko to evenly coat. Deep-fry the fritters in until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes or pan-fry the cakes in 1 to 2 inches of 375 degree F vegetable oil until golden brown and flip to brown on the other side about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain both on a tray lined with paper towels. Serve immediately.
