As a born & raised Baltimorean... this looks very delicious! The one thing I would do different is substitute the paprika with old bay. No seafood dish is complete without Old Bay. Thanks for posting 🥰🫶🏽💓.
Man.... THANKS TO YOUR CRAB CAKES, the expression on my wife's face said it all on the first bite. I'm from Texas but she's From Baltimore so I wanted to try something more of her Style. THANKS FRANK!
I made this for Christmas. My father in law said don't forget this recipe. He loved it. I wasn't expecting it to be as tangy as it was so I was a bit disappointed. However, 2 days later, I pulled the leftovers out of the refrigerator and heated it up and took a bite. WOW! It was wonderful. It must have been my taste buds were not ready for it on Christmas.
@@megaman4201 Hey Mega Man it turned out just fine and tasty. Probably not as yummy as yours. I was happy though. It was like a taste of home. Keep those fab recipes coming. Thanks. When I go home again I am going straight to Sea King on Liberty on my way to Faidleys at the market. hahaha be well
Wellll maybe...being from Md I get the inclination to put Old Bay on all things crab,but because there is no Old Bay you can really taste the ingredients that make it Imperial... but again I get it😎 Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Lol I will resist the ole Bay seasoning for now and will follow your recipe to the T ..I will know if i survived the taste experience without the ole bay..I am new to your channel so will be trying out some of your recipes will be fixing old school fried shrimp recipe today 😋 ✌🏾
I tried this to the T and it was good in flavor but a lot of liquid in the bottom of the dish. I made sure not to over sauce the crab as well. Just didn't work for me.
Making this right now but wondering if I'm making a mistake? the recipe calls for one and a half cups Mayo but looks like you might have only put about a cup, toward the end you said put two thirds cup prepared sauce in and you should have a third left over but that doesn't add up to anywhere near one and a half cups...did you only start with about one cup mayonnaise? One and a half cup mayonnaise would be almost 16 oz? Ugh... I'm not exactly a great cook and afraid this is going to come out tasting like Mayo salad but guess I'll see 😥
Hi you only need to use enough mayonnaise to coat the crab the rest is for the topping. I mentioned in the video to add the mayonnaise mix a little bit at a time. So that it doesn’t get too soupy
@@franksfavoritefoods7753 yes that's what I did, followed you exactly. I was just worried it may be too much mayonnaise in ratio to the rest of the ingredients but it came out well, thank you.
Hello and thank you for sharing this awesome recipe.. I am currently going to make in the sausage roll maker some crab meat along with some tenderloin sausage rolls separate rolls not mixed.. but I had to adjust your recipe so it's not too runny.. was not hard.. cooked some vegies to mix with the crabmeat carrot ,onion ,bell pepper (orange,yellow) celery, mushroom after cooking out as much of the water as I could.. salt helps can't wait to see how they turn out.. :) th-cam.com/video/AulpVhMOAEw/w-d-xo.html love this thing... so versatile :) if you don't already have one.. it's well worth the money.. Thanks again for sharing this recipe....
Tweedle checking in. This shit looks good, I mean really good. I'm gonna make this and serve it with a nice 40 or a bottle of that Ripple, and we're gonna have a time. We're making this in maybe July or August, and we can skip the Rip. Plenty of fantastic beers out in these parts. Seriously good vid and delicious recipe. Hopefully can be reproduced with non-lump crab. Later Peephole!
Thank you for the insight, but not everything requires old bay my friend. Old bay would overwhelm the delicate flavors of the dish. The recipe I use is from The Sir Walter Raleigh. Classic old school recipe from this Maryland based chain who I worked for for over 10 years.

I tried your recipe tonight and OMGosh it was delicious. Best Imperial Crab ever. And btw I'm from Maryland :D
So glad to hear. Thank you so much for letting me know.🦀
I'm in Maryland also, just put it in the oven but seems like way too much mayo, did you use one and a half cup Mayo and only 1 lb crab meat?
TC
@@megaman4201, only put in enough mayo to coat the crab well.
The rest is for the topping
That awesome. Thanks for letting me know😎
Sorry..... looks good. But needs oldbay in and on top it
Wow that looks awesome 😋 new supporter here. I'm going to try this recipe this weekend 👍👍🙋

Excellent!

Hi! How was it? Fixing now but seemed like too much mayo?

@@deborahthompson5041 sounds amazing! It came out pretty well, a little oily but that was my fault for using the wrong mayo!
I'm in Baltimore
@@marcomustang876 enjoy the crabs.
Just go buy the celery salt 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I did…..lol I can tell you meant that .😂😂😂😂😂…thank you I followed you and it was good
Looks good
Looks really good! I envisioned some good ole bay seasoning added to mixture!

Absolutely. Switch out the black pepper and paperika topping with Old Bay. Delicious.
put a little mixture on your spoon and sprinkle a little on it and taste it, if you like it add some to the mixture.
WOW, Looks so good!
Thank so much Barb😊
Well done chef
Thanks G😎
Bout to make this this week!
Cool thanks
My bottle of celery salt label says: Salt, Ground Celery seed. just sayin
Making this for my family tomorrow, with salmon!
Cool, please let me know how it turns out🦀
Looks delish, will be trying! New sub
Cool thanks Moe!
What side dishes do you serve it with....Looks great
Thanks so much, keep it simple so the dish can shine. Roasted potatoes is one good option.
Looks amazing...now I have my New Years Eve dish in mind...Thx BIG Brother
Thanks B!
I'm making this for MNF! #Yummy
Definitely not the cheap stuff at the Chinese buffet lol but I'm trying this asap.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤my favorite
Hi thank you❤✅
You are so welcome
We are having filets tonight. Think I will need to add the imperial!
😎
Loving this... 😛😋.. Thanks. Hear? ❣️
Thanks Cha cha
Can you bake this on top of fish fillet as a topping?
100% 😎
Stunning.
I tried this to the T and it was good in flavor but a lot of liquid in the bottom of the dish. I made sure not to over sauce the crab as well. Just didn't work for me.
What does the celery salt bring to the dish?
Celery salt is to imperial mix what old bay is to crab cake mix . Hope that helps!
Where is the Old Bay?
Old Bay goes in crab cakes not crab imperial! Thanks for commenting.
I can never get enough Old Bay so I'm making this tomorrow and replacing the paprika on top with Old Bay!
TC in Annapolis MD
Thank you! I'll be making it very soon! #I just subscribed btw🤗
Your very welcome 😎
Florida doesn’t have crab???? Hahahaha Florida has great crabbing locations. ESPECIALLY IN SOUTH FLORIDA!
Never said Florida doesn’t have crab, as I have personally caught them and owned a restaurant that sold them. Just sayin…

2/3 cup mayo mix in crabmeat. The rest is for topping.
@@franksfavoritefoods7753 yes that's what I did, followed you exactly. I was just worried it may be too much mayonnaise in ratio to the rest of the ingredients but it came out well, thank you.
I'm not sure what I did grrrr but my crab imper turned out dry .Dam I was so disappointed !
Sorry , but we cooks and residents of Maryland who created this uses Old Bay also with a pinch of garlic .
no pasteurized meat for me. only fresh jumbo lump

Thanks for your work on the video. But, “fresh crab is nearly impossible to find here in South Florida?” Sir, you must be joking …
Nope

Looks like some cheese was melted
No cheese my friend
That’s a lot of mayo lol
Sorry, all the ingredients were overpowering. Couldn't taste the crab
Blasphemy! You didn't add Old Bay. That is NOT Maryland crab imperial.

No fresh crab in Florida ?? Sus
