Trader Joe's Maryland Style Crab Cakes

Confession time…about five years ago I moved to an area where Trader Joe’s had stores, but I didn’t shop there for almost two years. Shocking. Embarrassing. I will say in my defense that I spent eight years overseas and had never heard of them. But still, barely an excuse, I admit. Then a kind friend introduced me to TJ’s, and I kicked myself for ignoring the radio commercials and never stopping in to try it. No more. My husband now knows that anywhere we live in the continental United States must have a Trader Joe’s within reasonable driving distance.

I shop TJ’s for all sorts of things—wine, cheese, bread, nuts, pasta, frozen fruit (perfect for smoothies), frozen veggies, other frozen goodies, yogurt, just about anything. I’m always game to try something new from TJs, and yesterday we sampled the TJ’s frozen Maryland Style Crab Cakes. They cost $2.99 and you get two cakes in a 6 oz package. The cakes are relatively thin, only about 1/2 to 3/4 inch tall. The packages describes them as “A savory blend of Crab meat, seasoned cornbread crumbs and Spices,” and it provides instructions on the back for both the stove top and the oven or toaster oven. Microwave is not recommended. Read more
