Time 22m

Yield 4 to 6 cakes, 16 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup lump or backfin crabmeat
1 cup special crabmeat (small pieces white crabmeat)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • If using a deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 375 degrees F.
  • In a bowl combine the crabmeat, mayonnaise, and pepper. Form into either 1-ounce balls for fritters or into 3-ounce cakes. Roll in the panko to evenly coat. Deep-fry the fritters in until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes or pan-fry the cakes in 1 to 2 inches of 375 degree F vegetable oil until golden brown and flip to brown on the other side about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain both on a tray lined with paper towels. Serve immediately.

These crab cakes were a bit bland. I think I needed to add more seasoning to the mixture. The texture was good, but the flavor was lacking.

These crab cakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I needed to add more mayonnaise or butter to the mixture. The flavor was good, but the texture was a bit off.
