This week the Crab Cake Review attempts to stay home and sample some of the home versions of crab cakes.  Today's victim is Whole Foods.  The world's largest retailer of organic and natural food, one would hope that their access to sustainable, locally sourced seafood would produce a crab cake worthy of recognition.  Especially with a Baltimore location.  How did it all work out?  Read on!

Another establishment not well known for their crab cakes, John Steven has been a Fells Point landmark since 1978 (although the history of the establishment goes back to 1911).  They're actually more known for being a neighborhood watering hole.  But walk past the bar, and you'll find yourself in the dining room with a back patio and outdoor seating.  Serving up fresh Baltimore seafood, it was time to see if the crab cakes fit the bill.

On the edge of Little Italy sits Mo's Seafood.  If you have ever driven from the Inner Harbor to Fells Point, you most likely have past by this icon under the name Mo's Fishermans Wharf.  This, however, is not that Mo's.  Believe it or not, there is another Mo's in Little Italy, owned by the same restaurant group, right around the corner (there are 5 in all, scattered around the area) under the name Mo's Crab and Pasta Factory.  Tucked away behind Della Notte, if you weren't directed there, you would have probably missed it.  But the question on all of your minds is:  How were the crab cakes?

[Part 1 of 2]  The Crab Cake Review starts its site off with a visit to Obrycki's in Upper Fells Point.  Since 1944, Obrycki's has been serving up crabs with their own special seasoning blend, along with other seafood treats.  When asking where to go for crab cakes in Baltimore, one might be pointed over in this direction.  But is it worth the trip?  Let's find out.

The CCR has descended upon a well-known watering hole in Fells Point called Duda's Tavern.  Small and cozy, you wouldn't think that they would serve really decent food, let alone crab cakes.  Part of the Fells Point Haunted PubWalk, there is a great deal of history in this tavern.  So how do their crab cakes stack up?  Read on to find out!
