Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup chopped dill pickles
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 pounds lump crabmeat, sorted through for cartilage and shell bits
Vegetable oil, for frying
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the tartar sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, pickles, scallions, parsley, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce in a medium bowl until combined. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • Meanwhile, make the crab cakes: Mix the mayonnaise, parsley, mustard, lemon juice and Old Bay in a large bowl until combined. Add the panko and mix again. Add the crab and mix, taking care not to crush the meat. Shape the crab mixture into 8 patties, each about 3 inches in diameter. Cover and refrigerate 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a brown paper bag or a double layer of paper towels. Pour enough vegetable oil into a large skillet to come 1/2 inch up the side and heat over medium-high heat until the oil is hot but not smoking. Add the crab cakes in batches and cook until the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip the cakes and continue cooking until golden, about 2 more minutes. Transfer the crab cakes to the lined baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven while cooking the remaining cakes. Serve hot with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my crab cakes fell apart. Maybe I didn't mix the ingredients together well enough.

I'm allergic to crab, so I can't comment on the taste. But they sure looked good!

These crab cakes were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some more seasoning next time.

I'm not a huge fan of crab cakes, but these were really good! The tartar sauce was also delicious.

These crab cakes were a bit too crispy for my taste, but the flavor was still good.

These crab cakes were absolutely delicious! The crispy exterior and tender, flavorful interior were perfect. I served them with the tartar sauce and it was the perfect complement.
