  • My friend Ronnie gifted me some NY blue crab. Instead of doing just a boring crab boil or typical crab cakes I make baked stuffed blue crab. You’ll definitely want to make this recipe, it was incredible.

    • @CookingWithClams

      Parsley I think got a bad wrap as a throw away garnish. Used in the right way it just lightens up a dish without altering the flavor.

    As a Marylander from the Eastern Shore of our fine state (where all the crabbers and crab culture is from), I'm quite familiar with the recipe that you just made in this video. Here we call it Crab Imperial. I'd recommend a few things that you might try the next time you make your version: 1. Make the "wet portion" (the mayo, mustard, Worster sauce, lemon, egg, spices and "tomale" if you like that. Not everyone does (I don't like it personally).) Also, a note regarding using "Old Bay;" if crabs are steamed or cooked like you did then, then the meat can take some spice, but if they are done like we do here in Maryland, with JO spice, well, that's really salty and very strong. I wouldn't recommend using more spice then, it can get too salty and just ruin the subtlety of the dish. Only when you have all that sorted, then you can add the crab. You won't break up the backfin then, if you fold it in and gently toss it in the sauce. 2. Try it with Ritz cracker as your breadcrumb (my preference). Traditionally as well, we can use saltine crackers crushed. Either work well, and they tend to help take on flavor as well as give a nice crumble to the top. You can add some fresh Parmigiano or Asiago as well if you like your topping cheesy. 3. The broil at the end should be really hot and really fast, but you definitely want to get color on the crumb to at least a light brown (personally, I like it a little past light brown.) It gives the dish a nice, toasted flavor. You can put that as well on top of a fillet of fish (here, we'd use flounder or rockfish mostly, but anything with a nice white flake works great) or even use it with a chicken fillet (called Chicken Chesapeake here...) My favorite way to eat this as a snack is to get a nice German soft pretzel, split it and stuff it with Imperial - a local restaurant here called Pickles does this and calls it a Crabby Pretzel and that and a beer goes great during your favorite sportscast.
