Steelhead Diner

95 Pine St, Seattle, WA 98101

This is my absolute favorite restaurant to get a crab cake. They are about $15 but SO worth it. The cake is giant and it is all crab. Big chunks of fresh Dungeness crab meat with a tasty sauce and fried parsley on top. There is plenty to share with your date if you would want to do such a thing.

Etta's Seafood

2020 Western Ave, Seattle, WA 98121

The crab cakes here are bite size and so tasty. If you love crab cakes like me, you will want your own order of them.

Anthony's Homeport

6135 Seaview Ave NW Ste 2B, Seattle, WA 98107

The crab cakes at Anthony's Homeport are super special because of the ginger plum sauce they have. The cakes of course are full of fresh crab, but the sauce is pretty unique.

Wild Ginger Asian Restaurant

1401 Third Ave, Seattle, WA 98101

The crab cakes are a must have at Wild Ginger. The sauce here is not my fave, but you can just skip it since the crab cakes are plenty tasty on their own.

Ray's Boathouse

6049 Seaview Ave NW, Seattle, WA 98107

At Ray's the crab cake isn't an appetizer, it is an entree, and at $25 it's hard to justify it as an appetizer, but if you have a sharing buddy with you at dinner, you can split this and another entree and make it work. Unless you want it as an entree, which then of course it's perfect.
