Mister Crabcakes

Mister Crabcakes is owned by well-known Marco resident and entertainer Johnny Fusco.

“I was very, very happy singing three nights a week and fishing five days a week,” Fusco says of his days before purchasing the company with his partner Cindy six years ago. “Now I do this seven days a week, but it’s been very profitable, and we’re truly blessed.”

Fusco says Mister Crabcakes “sells anything having to do with Maryland blue crab,” including crab cakes, mini crab cakes, crab stuffed mushrooms and crab bisque, among other items.

“Our picking house is on the Chesapeake Bay in Crisfield, Maryland,” Fusco says. “We have very little filler. We use half a teaspoon of breadcrumb in our crabcakes and the rest is all lump crab meat.”

Mister Crabcakes’ commercial kitchen is on Chalmer Dr. on Marco, where Fusco makes and sells the crabcakes and operates his more diverse catering business.

“We have a great reputation on the island, being local,” Fusco says. “We’re one of the number one caterers on Marco.”
