Crab Cake Mixture

Cooking

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the jumbo lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, eggs, breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Form Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into 8-10 evenly sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter, ensuring not to overwork the crab meat.

  3. 3

    Chill

    Place the formed crab cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 5

    Cook Crab Cakes

    Carefully add the crab cakes to the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 6

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once cooked, remove the crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Serve the crab cakes hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the cakes.
