Faidley's Seafood
Best Crab Cake in Baltimore · MD
Lexington Market's jumbo lump legend
Faidley's Seafood has held down a corner of Baltimore's historic Lexington Market since 1886, making it one of the oldest continuously operated family businesses in the country. Its jumbo-lump crab cake — nearly all backfin, barely bound, broiled or fried — is the benchmark every Maryland crab cake is measured against.
Ordered at a marble raw-bar counter and eaten standing up, the Faidley's crab cake draws locals and pilgrims by the thousand each week — a fifth-generation seafood institution at the heart of Baltimore's oldest market.
