Seriously. I don't live in MD, but a large number of my cousins do, and the very idea of crab cakes without crab would be grounds for justifiable homicide (over here on the VA side of the Potomac, we just import them from ovuh the rivuh).
I'll have to look up the exact recipe, but I think it's from Dumas. The gist is: take a cow fill it with a pig fill it with a sheep fill that with a turkey fill that with a goose ... last step: fill with a sparrow Cook for a couple days. Spices etc. Take the resulting spoonful of sauce from the sparrow. Throw away the rest and start cooking.
