Method
Preparation
- 1
Mix the Crab Cake Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix the ingredients together until just combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes. This helps the ingredients to bind together and makes shaping the cakes easier.

Shape the Crab Cakes
After chilling, remove the crab mixture from the refrigerator. Use your hands to shape the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. You should be able to make around 6-8 crab cakes.

Cook the Crab Cakes
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, 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 they are golden brown and heated through.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the crab cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce, like tartar sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon.
