The History of Crab Cakes :: Box Hill Crabcakes, Maryland’s Best Crab Cakes

Tuesday, July 10th, 2012

As Maryland natives, we have been gladly devouring crab cakes for as long as we can remember. But how many of us have actually stopped to contemplate the history of one of our Maryland treats, the crab cake?

 

The History of Crab Cakes

 

Food historians traditionally trace the origins of the crab cake back to the American colonies, whose early settlers adopted English minced meat cake recipes and modified them to use what they had, which included crab meat! Since that time, crab cakes continued to grow in popularity, appearing in countless cookbooks throughout history.

 

It was not until 1930 in Crosby Gaige’s New York World’s Fair Cook Book, however, that the term “Crab Cake” appears in print, at which time they referred to the delicacy as a “Baltimore crab cakes.”

 

Crab Cakes Today

 

Crab cake recipes have changed little since their inception in colonial times (although everyone has their own special twist to the traditional crab cake recipe, like Box Hill’s secret family recipe). What has changed, is the availability of crab cakes today. Did you know that you can now order your crabcakes online?

 

Life Doesn’t Get Much Better Than That!

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.”

 

HomeRome Realty – For Perfect Crab Cakes Head to Box Hill Pizzeria in Belair, Maryland

 

“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!”

Wednesday, May 9th, 2012

Memorial Day, formerly known as Decoration Day, is a federal holiday observed annually in the United States on the last Monday of May.

Since then, Memorial Day has grown to honor all Americans who have lost their lives serviging in the U.S. Armed Forces, fighting for our beloved country.

 

In more recent memory, Memorial Day – which also marks the unofficial beginning of summer – has evolved into a weekend long celebration of America, including shopping, family gatherings, fireworks, trips to the beach, and, of course, cookouts / barbeques.

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.”

About Boxhill Crabcakes

Boxhill Crabcakes is a family-owned and operated restaurant in Abingdon, Maryland. Customers have been enjoying their world-famous, award-winning crab cakes since their doors opened in 1984. Boxhill Crabcakes can also be ordered online at http://boxhillcrabcakes.com
