Cafe Thirty-A crab cakes - The winner!

I haven't been to Cafe 30-A in years. But, because of you I will go and try those crabcakes in October.

I am guessing they use those little metal rings to keep the crabmeat in place, then they pan fry them.

They are good, but I think you can only get them as an appetizer. And you only get one.

Great...now I want crab cakes! It's not even 9 am yet I'm thinking of lunch.

Did you try Cafe Tango ?? If not then you did not find the best.

I'm with skippertoo. What a tough task, finding the best crabcakes

Time for a crabcakeoff. Who wants to be a judge?

Me Me Me!!!! Don't you hate when you order crabcakes and all you get is that stringy stuff and breading? LUMPS only please!

Didn't try Tango. Looks like I better schedule my trip back. Also, if you ask them, you can get the crabcakes as a meal (two of 'em). Add a mojito martini and you'll swear you've touched the face of God.

You are killing me Kirkus. Not only am I five weeks from SoWal, am four months from being able to drink any kind of yummy cocktail. OK ... just decide among yourselves which is the best (or better, rank them and I'll try the top three!) so I can get my crabcakes on starting July 22.

i have a friend who's had to go on the wagon permanently for really unfortunate medical reasons, but still likes to go out and have funn, and she comes up with the greatest substitutes for popular drinks (which usually cost as much as the real thing)!

'mohito' - white rum, mint, lime, top with club soda
'baby mohito' - fresca, mint, lime, top with club soda

'bloody mohito' - white rum, mint, lime, red wine, top with club soda
'baby bloody mohito' - fresca, mint, lime, grenadine, top with club soda

'stunned mohito' - whiskey, mint, lime, top with club soda
'baby stunned mohito' - fanta orange, mint, lime, shot of bitters, top with club soda

subs:
white rum - fresca or 7-up
dark rum - vernor's ginger ale
whiskey - fanta orange soda and bitters
gin - sprite
vodka - rockstar or club soda

oh, and if the waitress or bartender dosen't know what 'baby' means or how to make it, she just goes right up to the bar and makes them add it to the bar's recipe collection - then she orders it again!

Who knew?

There is no substitute of course for lump crab. Where is our panel of judges?

I"m in for the crabcake cook off! When is it?

Oh, I see you're a chef, Abe D...so what's your recipe for crabcakes...or is that a closely guarded secret?

Just a little love!

We got crabs and we're itchin' for a cookoff.

They are good, but I think you can only get them as an appetizer. And you only get one.

I think that one was all I got.
However:
It was pretty large, and tasted awfully good. Basically it was a meal in itself.
Flavorful sauce.
