Maryland's 300-pound crab cake

It's official. Maryland's Handy International Inc. broke the record for the world's largest crab cake, according to Guinness World Records. It was a whopper—300 pounds.

The Salisbury seafood processor made the crab cake, pictured, with fresh Maryland crabmeat last September at the Maryland State Fair. The world record was confirmed recently.

Ironically, Handy beat its own previous record. I can't wait to see what they do next.

The State Fair crab cake also went to a good cause. It was divided into 584 crab-cake sandwiches with the proceeds going to the Maryland 4-H Foundation.
