Box Hill Crabcakes: Baltimore’s Best Crab Cakes

Wednesday, June 6th, 2012

You have heard us week in and week out claiming that Box Hill Crab Cakes are home of Maryland’s Best Crab Cakes! But you do not have to take our word for it. See what others are saying about our delicious crabcakes!

 

Baltimore Magazine – Crab-ilicious!


“Crab cake to reckon with”

 

“In addition to its excellent pizzas, subs, and Italian specialties, this Harford County favorite delivers a crab cake to reckon with. The 8-ounce sphere of lump crab with coleslaw, fries, and garlic bread ($13.99, other combos available) is a farmhand’s bounty. There’s nothing fancy here, from the serve-yourself sodas to the plastic tableware, but the cake is worth the trip.”

 

CHOWHOUND – Best crabcake in America

 

“Originally from Maryland, and a connoisseur of Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs, I speak with authority as well as the vote of 25 years worth of Marylander’s when I say that Box Hill Pizzeria has the best crabcake in the US. It is all lump backfin, broiled, and is served slightly “wet”. If you have to ask don’t read any further, you don’t have the “crab skills” to understand what makes it the best. Served year round, but of course, at the height of flavor from Mid-May until Mid-October. Box Hill Pizzeria is located in Abingdon, Maryland, about thirty minutes north of Baltimore. It is simply indescribably delicious. Makes my mouth water just typing this.”

“The Perfect Crab Cake” is something many restaurants in Maryland claim, but there’s one place we’ve found that can back that claim with delicious proof.

 

The Box Hill Pizzeria is known for its pizza, of course, but it’s the crab cakes that bring people back. They were perfection, lumps of backfin crab (the best and sweetest crabmeat there is), seasoned and broiled to perfection, served up plump in generous portions. Box Hill’s crab cakes were just picked among the best by Baltimore Magazine in the July 2009 issue. Yummy!”

BP Oil Spill Effects to be Felt by Maryland Crab Cake Lovers

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

Maryland crab cake businesses will not escape the impact of the BP oil disaster, which will trickle down to the consumer.

Tom Kanaras, co-owner of Boxhill Crab Cakes, like other seafood restaurant owners, is watching the seafood industry one day at a time. The industry is being challenged not only by the BP oil spill, but by the hurricane forecasts, restrictive harvesting laws, and warm waters preventing harvesting: each challenge in and of itself potentially damaging. Put them together and you have a perfect storm that could drastically impact the seafood industry and seafood restaurants.

U.S. Crabmeat Supply Becoming Limited

Mr. Kanaras states, “Supply and demand is affecting our Maryland crab cake restaurant business. There are fewer sources of U.S. crabmeat but consumer demand is still high. Our big challenge will be where we get our winter crabmeat.”

Since the Gulf Coast crabmeat supply is more limited than ever and east coast crabmeat is not available during the winter, crabmeat will have to come from other areas – such as foreign suppliers. Even though some consumers are leery of foreign seafood, foreign suppliers may end up being a major source of crabmeat and other seafood.

Consumers can expect more foreign seafood being served in restaurants as U.S. suppliers cannot meet the demand.  Seafood industry insiders report that Phillips Foods already uses foreign seafood and has a strategy in place to corner the Indonesian crab meat market that will leverage their Indonesia crab processing facilities.

Tom Kanaras believes foreign crabmeat is safe (due to advanced pasteurization processes) and of high quality; especially Indonesian crabmeat. If Kanaras has to use foreign crabmeat, he will gladly inform his customers about the source of the meat.

Expect Maryland Crab Cake Prices to Go Up – But Don’t Settle for Less Quality

Right now, crabmeat prices are $16-$17/pound, which could climb to $20.  Some restaurateurs feel that the quality of the crab cakes will have to suffer because of the higher prices.

Tom Kanaras has a different point-of-view: “We will not cut back on the quality of our world-famous crab cakes. Our proprietary recipe has been around too long. We’re doing a lot of praying and crossing our fingers that the prices don’t have to go up but if they do, our customers can always enjoy the same quality that we have delivered for over a quarter of a century.”
