Tips for the Best Crab Cakes

Use fresh jumbo lump crab meat. It has a sweeter flavor and a more delicate texture than other types of crab meat.
Gently mix crab meat and ingredients together. Overmixing can toughen the crab cakes.
Form crab cakes into 1-1/2-inch balls, then flatten them into 3-inch patties. This will help them cook evenly.
Chill crab cakes for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help them hold their shape.
Cook crab cakes over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
Serve crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or remoulade.
