Why Jumbo Lump Stays Visible
Jumbo lump comes from the two large muscles connected to a blue crab's swimming fins. Careful mixing helps those prized pieces stay intact instead of breaking into shreds.
That is why a lightly bound crab cake has a noticeably different texture: the crab remains in distinct, fork-sized pieces.
Preparation
Preparation
Pan-Cooking the 5+ oz Crab Cakes

- Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Add the crab cakes without crowding the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning once, until golden.
- Transfer cooked cakes to paper towels to drain.
- If working in batches, hold finished cakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven.
- Serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges if desired.

Sixteen Maryland Crab Cakes, Ready When the Table Is
A crab cake dinner does not have to begin with a mixing bowl. This 16-pack puts Harbour House's original 5+ oz Maryland-style cake in the freezer one portion at a time: substantial enough to anchor a plate, yet simple to pull out in the exact number you need. The format works just as well for a holiday crowd as it does for keeping several good weeknight dinners in reserve.
Large Lumps, a Light Hand
The pleasure of a jumbo lump cake is finding recognizable pieces of crab in every forkful. These are handmade with jumbo lump crab meat and just enough bread crumbs to keep the cake together. That restraint matters. A heavy binder makes a cake easy to shape but masks the delicate texture people order Maryland crab cakes to enjoy; this recipe lets the crab remain the point.
A 5+ oz Main-Course Portion
At more than five ounces each, these are full-size cakes rather than passed appetizers. Plate one with corn, slaw or a green salad, or serve them beside steamed shellfish when you want two distinct Chesapeake textures on the same menu. For smaller cocktail portions, compare the jumbo lump crab cake bites; for a smaller household order, the standard 5+ oz crab cake listing is the natural alternative.
Cook Only What You Need
Each cake is individually vacuum sealed and ships frozen in an insulated cooler. Thaw the number you plan to serve, then pan-cook in hot oil, turning once, until both sides are golden. Drain briefly on paper towels. When cooking several batches, a low oven keeps the first cakes warm without crowding the skillet.
Built for the Host Who Plans Ahead
Sixteen individually packed cakes remove the awkward choice between buying for tonight and buying for the next gathering. Keep the seals intact until needed, pair the cakes with lemon wedges and tartar sauce, and let the freezer do the scheduling. If you are choosing crab meat for a recipe of your own, our guide to crab meat grades and uses explains why jumbo lump creates such an impressive cake.
