Check out the recipe for Chef John's Crab Cakes. And one additional tip: for best results, be sure to use good quality crab for these cakes. See more Chef John videos >>

It sure looked to me that Chef John added at least 2 tsp of cayenne pepper to his slurry in the video. :)

Chef John uses Dungeness crab, but for true Chesapeake Bay crab cakes use blue crab and get lump crab so you can taste the crab

I so enjoy Chef John's videos, easy to follow. He makes me want to run out, buy the ingredients and make the recipe right after viewing his step-by-step approach.
