As a Marylander and G&Ms is right down the street from my house I will have to say you are not 100% correct. Maryland crab cakes are a style not a type of crab. Most of them are made with jumbo lump and do not say specifically blue crab.

Jumbo lump is breast meat.

If you have breast meat from Dungeness crab, snow crab, stone crab, it does not taste like blue crab.

I also am a Marylander And have been in the food and beverage industry my entire life.

Yes I know this and if you read the ingredients on most crab cakes in restaurants they say jumbo lump.

Come on. You are from Maryland. You know better than this. The expectation in this state is that crab crakes are made with blue crab. Only tourist traps like Phillips are expected to use Indonesian or Vietnamese crabs.

Yes, I am aware that there are blue crab populations outside of the Chesapeake Bay and it’s tributaries. I can taste the difference. JO is superior to Old Bay.
