…the single greatest thing that must be eaten at the market – the most delicious dish in all of Baltimore, maybe the most beautiful hunk of seafood anywhere on the East Coast between Maine and Charleston Harbor – is a Faidley’s crab cake.

Faidley’s Crab Cakes are crusty on the outside and tender, moist, and packed with crab on the inside.
Southern Living Magazine
They’re plump, sweet beauties with large pieces of crab meat (“only jumbo lump,” says Nancy) and subtle seasoning (“I don’t like so much spice that it wipes out the crab flavor”). Every subsequent crab cake will be measured against hers.
Gourmet Magazine
You don’t sit at Faidley’s, you stand, leaning against waist high counters bolted to the old market’s floor. And in that position, you enjoy perhaps the best crab cake you’ll ever have the pleasure of eating.
USA Today, Life Section
When it comes to crab cakes,” Bill says, “chefs think they know what they’re doing. They jazz it up and ruin it. Nancy keeps it simple. She makes a special sauce using the best ingredients but won’t even tell me what’s in it.
