Jimmy’s Famous Seafood Express

A Taste of MD in Tampa!
How excited was I?! Being a Virginia native, I’ve grown up trying all types of crab cakes, my favorite of course being the Chesapeake Blue Crab. I’m used to jumbo lumps in my crab cakes and a nice kick of old bay. I’ve got to tell you, Jimmy’s did not disappoint.
Originally established in Maryland, the company has expanded and made its way down to Tampa. The food truck came to my office for a rally and I’ve got to say at first I was a little skeptical of «food truck seafood», but they boasted the best crab cakes in Tampa so of course I had to try. As you can see in the picture, I couldn’t wait to try it. The amazing aroma permeated my area.
The crab cake itself seemed a little small to me at first, then I realized it was more full than I expected. Perfect ratio of crab meat, just «lumpy» enough. It held together beautifully, and the sauce underneath it was to die for. The slight zing was a perfect accompaniment. I’m still kind of drooling typing this out. I also added fries for a couple bucks more and they were seasoned perfectly, old bay is my favorite.
As for service, the woman was super nice and everything took about 8 – 10 minutes total, but I did not mind at all. Price wise, a little pricey to me before I realized how much crab had been used. This would actually probably be priced slightly low back home.
