Crabcake Mixture

For Frying

Method

Crabcake Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the jumbo lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and the egg. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables and Seasoning

    Chop the green onions finely and add them to the mixture. Then, season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently fold in the breadcrumbs until the mixture holds together but is still chunky.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crabcake mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up.

Cooking the Crabcakes

  1. 4

    Form the Crabcakes

    Once chilled, take the mixture and form it into patties, about 3-4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  2. 5

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 6

    Cook the Crabcakes

    Carefully add the crabcakes to the skillet, cooking them in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

  4. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the crabcakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.
