MAKAN Crabs

06/06/2026

🦀 Ever wonder what goes into a MAKAN crab cake?

Spoiler alert: it’s not a bunch of filler pretending to be crab. 😏

Our crab cakes start with the good stuff—fresh, delicious crab meat—then get mixed, seasoned, and handcrafted the way they’ve been done for years. No shortcuts. No mystery ingredients. Just the kind of crab cake that makes you take one bite and immediately start planning your next visit.

Watching them being made is almost as satisfying as eating them… almost. 🤤

If this video doesn’t have you craving a crab cake by the end, we admire your self-control.

📍MAKAN Crabs
🦀 Fresh crabs, crab cakes, seafood, and more
📅 Open today!

Come see what all the fuss is about—and grab a crab cake before someone else beats you to it! 😎

🎉🦀 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARK! 🦀🎉

Most people spend their birthday relaxing… but not Mark. Nope — he chose the true Maryland birthday experience: working hard and smelling like Old Bay all day. 😂

While everyone else is eating the crabs, Mark’s back there making sure MAKAN Crabs keeps serving up the good stuff for all of you! So if you stop by today, make sure to wish him a happy birthday (and maybe remind him he’s allowed to take at least ONE break 😅).

The best birthday gift? A busy seafood shack, happy customers, and plenty of steamed crabs headed out the door! And a 30 pack of Bud Light. 🦀🔥

Come celebrate with us today at MAKAN Crabs — because birthdays are better with butter, Old Bay, and a table full of crabs. 🎂🦀
