Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and Old Bay seasoning. Gently mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add the Egg and Seasonings

    Crack the egg into the mixture and add chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to incorporate all ingredients without breaking up the crab meat too much.

  3. 3

    Form the Patties

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties about 2-3 inches in diameter and place them on a plate. You can make approximately 8 patties depending on the size.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

  2. 5

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp.

  3. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with melted butter on the side, if desired.
