Crab Cakes: Crab cakes are popular along the coast of the Mid-Atlantic States, New England, the Gulf Coast, the Pacific Northwest, and the Northern California coast, where the crabbing industry thrives. Meat from any species of crab may be used, although the meat of the blue crab, whose native habitat includes the Chesapeake Bay is traditional. The Blue Crab is generally considered to be the best tasting.
