Crabs. Is there anything they can’t do? If The Little Mermaid is any indication…not much. Nevertheless, what better way to celebrate singing, dancing crustaceans than to have some crab cakes?
To the G & M Restaurant and Lounge we go!
G & M serves the biggest Maryland all-lump crab cakes I’ve ever seen. Not quite as big as Giada De Laurentiis’ head — they’re about the size of half a softball, or a partially destroyed Death Star replica. The best thing about these crab cakes is they’re all crab, with barely any filler. It’s pretty much all the best parts of eating crab without any of the messy work of using Thor’s hammer to crack open shells. 
And the taste? Melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The Old Bay seasoning complimented the crab cakes, not taking away any of the sweet, delicate flavor of the meat, and I think the binding to keep the crab cake together had some of the yummy orange fatty “roe” stuff from inside the crab, which added a subtle, creamy richness.
Despite the iffyness of Sebastian’s shell color relative to the shell color of most live crabs, if you’re a seafood lover visiting the Baltimore area, you should definitely check out the G & M Restaurant and Lounge. And now, it’s time to sing and dance!
