Time 20m

Yield 6 crab cakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound lump crabmeat (picked and any cartilage removed)
1 egg, lightly mixed
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, preferably homemade
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon seafood seasoning (see recipe) or cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
1 tablespoon minced onion
2 to 4 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
Zest of 1 lemon, grated
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Place the crabmeat in a mixing bowl. Pick it with a fork and check to see that all the cartilage is removed. Add the egg, mayonnaise and mustard. Toss lightly together, using the fork so as not to shred the crabmeat too much.
  • Add the seafood seasoning, parsley, minced onion, bread crumbs and grated lemon zest. Toss together lightly.
  • Melt the butter over medium-high heat. Scoop up enough crab mixture to make a plump pattie about five inches in diameter. Place the crabcakes in the skillet and fry for three minutes or until a golden brown crust forms on the bottom. Flip the crabcakes over and continue to fry on the other side for another three or four minutes.
  • Serve the crab cakes on soft hamburger buns or simply with a spoonful of tartar sauce.

I've been making these crab cakes for years and they're always a hit! They're so easy to make and they're always delicious. I love that I can use fresh or canned crab meat, depending on what I have on hand. I also love that they can be baked or fried

The crab cakes were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll use less bread crumbs next time.

The crab cakes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll drain the crab meat better next time.

The crab cakes were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

The crab cakes were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll add a little more mayonnaise next time.
