G&M Crabcakes

Does anyone have an idea as to how to count them?  They are an 8 oz crab cake -- I ate between 1/3 and 1/2 for lunch yesterday and finished it for lunch today.  It is really mostly crab - but how do I count the filler (I can't figure out what it is so I don't know how high in fat it is)  But wow was it good!!!

I would say that 6 oz is crab, 1 oz is filler, and 1 oz is mayonnaise.  Filler you could count as bread crumbs (assuming you are using FitDay).  Their crab cakes are SO SO SO good!  I'd normally be jealous but I had a really good boulliabase for dinner at Acqua (BWI Hilton restaurant).

You mean I won't have to give up G&M?  We were there last weekend and I was secretly thinking it might be my last taste of Maryland's best crab cake....Waaaaaay kewl!!  I was told they use just  enough water and bread crumbs to hold the crab together under the broiler. No idea what that translates to in measurement.

Mark,  Fish and seafood are great protein sources. And I am lucky in that I tolerate shrimp and crab meat very well!  This was my first attempt at G&M since surgery and it worked out well!  But I will say , they are not as good micorwaved the next day! I recommend splitting one with someone before trying to eat one over a few days.  They are way too good the first time around to be disappointed in a 're-heat'! :)

Sounds yummy to me!   Are they as good as Timbuktu's crab cakes? Now I want one too! 

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.

I haven't been to TImbukto, but I hear their seafood is amazing.  But it would be pretty hard to beat a G&M crabcake!!!   They are awesome!

My crabcake recipe calls for 1lb of crab and have 2 slices of bread pulverized into tiny crumbs.  My recipe also calls for 1 egg (there's probably egg in just about all crabcakes because it's a good binder) and 2 T mayo.  Also mustard, parsley, and Old Bay, but those hardly count.  The recipe makes 8 crabcakes.  Extrapolate from there....

Oh wow, thank you so much, I so wanted to know if it was the end of those.  I see that I am not the only one with a G&M obsession.
