Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 pound of fresh crab meat
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil, for frying
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, gently pick through the crab meat to remove any shells.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, parsley, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
-
Add the crab meat to the breadcrumb mixture and gently fold until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to keep the crab meat in large chunks.
-
Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the crabcakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your pan.
-
Remove the crabcakes from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
-
Serve the crabcakes hot with lemon wedges on the side.
