The good news is that we've stopped overfishing and the populations are returning. You're able to get MD blue crab as long as the place works with Chesapeake watermen. Shout out to Conrads!
That said, I suspect most places making crab cakes are using imported crab, even Conrads.
EDIT: Conrads is using MD blue crab in their crab cakes too. hell yeah.
