Here's part 2 of food from my trip... this time, instead of sitting by the fireplace and getting comfort away from the cold while writing, I feel like I'm, IN the fireplace. It's been insanely hot, and I can't seem to get used to it!Anyways, this is about Maryland's famous - Crab cakes. I had never known that, until I went to Baltimore, and my dear friend (knowing what a foodie I am) had put that on her list of "Karen's must-eats". If you're thinking fish cakes like the ones in ta-mee, throw that image out. Throw even Thai prawn cakes out.. This is real crab (and nothing but chunks of it!) nicely seasoned and rolled up into a ball, then lightly fried. Awesome!
For someone who likes crabs, but not enough to want to fight with it's shell to get the flesh out, this is the perfect solution! And i thoroughly enjoyed it :o)
Along with crab cakes, we ordered a pasta to share - Seafood cajun fettucine. Thankfully we stopped at 2, cos the pasta was a huge portion, with a generous lot of prawns and scallops! We were stuffed.Service was great at this place too, so if you ever head to Baltimore, pop in to Obrycki's and try them. You'll love them!
