Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Gently fold the ingredients together to ensure the crab meat remains intact.

Add Vegetables and Bind

Form the Crab Cakes
Using your hands, form the crab mixture into patties about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place the formed patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
