Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes
96%Read ReviewsHeat & Eat
At Faidley’s stand-up counters in Baltimore’s Lexington Market, the crab cake has been a Chesapeake benchmark since 1886. Barely bound with chopped saltines, a touch of mustard, and Old Bay, it’s built almost entirely of jumbo lump blue crab, the two prized swimmer-fin muscles that take a whole bushel of crabs to yield a single pound, hand-formed and baked golden over a steamy, flaky center. Family-owned since John W. Faidley opened it, the market institution was named one of Smithsonian’s 20 most iconic food destinations in America. Perfect for a special Maryland-style dinner, a holiday centerpiece, or a crab purist who wants meat, not filler.

Maryland's Most Legendary Crab Cake Since 1886
Maryland's Most Legendary Crab Cake Since 1886
Located at the historic Lexington Market, Faidley’s Seafood is consistently cited as the place to visit if you only have one day in Baltimore. This fifth generation family-owned restaurant was founded in 1886, making it one of the oldest purveyors of wild caught seafood on the East Coast. Best known for their award-winning jumbo lump blue crab cakes, Faidley’s makes each succulent cake by hand daily with sweet crab and little else. These beauties are so quintessential Baltimore, they snagged a cameo appearance in Sleepless in Seattle, the classic ’90s flick about man, woman and a mighty fine crab cake.
It’s the classic love triangle.
