Use these tips to serve and enjoy Thanksgiving crab cakes.
Thanksgiving is all about gathering, celebrating, and enjoying a meal that brings everyone together. While turkey may be the traditional centerpiece, more families are shaking up their holiday table with delicious additions, and crab cakes are quickly becoming a Thanksgiving favorite.
If you want to bring bold Chesapeake flavor to your celebration this year, Box Hill’s award-winning Maryland crab cakes are the perfect way to elevate your feast. Whether you serve them as appetizers, sides, or the star of the show, crab cakes are versatile, festive, and sure to impress every guest.
To help you make the most of your holiday menu, here are some simple and delicious tips for serving crab cakes on Thanksgiving.
Tip #1: Serve Crab Cakes as a Crowd-Pleasing Appetizer
Kick off your Thanksgiving gathering with something your guests will rave about from the moment they walk through the door. Mini crab cakes or full-sized cakes cut into quarters are a fantastic appetizer option.
Pair them with dipping sauces like:
- Lemon aioli
- Spicy remoulade
- Cocktail sauce
- Old Bay mayo
Arrange them on a platter with lemon wedges and fresh herbs for a beautiful presentation and an unforgettable start to your meal.
Tip #2: Offer Crab Cakes as a Unique Entrée Alternative
Not everyone is a turkey fan — and that’s okay! Crab cakes are the perfect main dish for Thanksgiving guests who prefer seafood or want something lighter than the traditional holiday fare.
Serve with:
- Roasted fall vegetables
- Garlic mashed potatoes
- Green beans with toasted almonds
- A fresh autumn salad
Box Hill’s crab cakes are hearty, rich, and seasoned to perfection, making them a standout entrée for any holiday table.
Tip #3: Pair Crab Cakes with Crab Soup for a Cozy Course
If you’re planning a multi-course Thanksgiving dinner, pair our crab cakes with one of Box Hill’s signature soups.
Maryland Crab Soup adds a tomato-based, veggie-rich kick, while Cream of Crab Soup offers smooth, comforting perfection. It’s the ideal warm-up course for a chilly November evening.
Tip #4: Don’t Forget the Perfect Sides
Crab cakes go wonderfully with classic Thanksgiving sides, so you don’t need to reinvent your menu. Try them with:
- Cranberry sauce for a sweet-tart balance
- Sweet potatoes
- Roasted Brussels sprouts
- Herb stuffing
- Corn pudding
These pairings help your crab cakes fit seamlessly into the holiday spread.
