Crab is one of my favorite foods. Only oysters, lobster and Back Bay Grill's Duck Two Ways outrank it. I fell in love with crab when G and I moved to Maine in the early nineties. Imagine my delight when I, an Ohio kid raised on Salisbury steak and mashed potatoes, discovered the sweet flavor of Maine crab.

I was reminded last night about how delicious Maine crab is when G made a wonderful Kyra Alex recipe. Kyra owns Lily's Cafe in Stonington, ME. (Stonington and Deer Isle, more of my favorites!). G made Kyra's crab cakes. They're made with fresh crab meat, chopped onion, a little potato, Tobasco and some other nice ingredients. They taste amazing.

If you love Maine crab, too, you probably have a favorite. Help me make more crab discoveries. Tell me where Maine's most delicious crab dishes are served? Or share a recipe to try at home.

Also, if you missed it, Brook Dojny recently covered Maine Crab. Coincidentally, she included a recipe from Kyra Alex of Lily's Cafe. Check it out..
