People are passionate about crabcakes, like, really passionate. Although there were lots of other restaurants in the running (pretty much every restaurant in town serves crab cakes) according to you, our readers, these are the best crabcakes in Ocean City. The Shark on the Harbor was running a very distant sixth and it isn’t unreasonable that they can catch up. Hell, nothing is unreasonable with so much time left to vote. The point is, though, that these are the best of the best and it is a pretty tight race. We do tally the write-in votes pretty closely so if you want to start a campaign for your favorite. That is, if you think the “real” best crabcakes didn’t make the list, there is still time to designate the best of the best. Click here to vote!

Ocean City’s best crab cake is at Rippon’s seafood market. They can’t be beat.
I’ve tried other places and they don’t come close. The only other place I’d order a crab cake is Coin’s. Coin’s has the best sea food potato skins appitizer. It’s my favorite meal there.
I lived in Maryland all my life and love crab cake. My first visit to crab cake factory was in November and I know itโs the off season, but the crab cakes were not that great. I have been to other places in off season that weโre better. I will try again in summer.
