Method
Preparation
- 1
Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, chopped green onions, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Gently fold the ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

Chill the Mixture
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crab mixture for at least 30 minutes. This will help the mixture firm up and make it easier to form the cakes.

Form the Cakes
Once the mixture is chilled, remove it from the refrigerator. Using your hands, form the crab mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place the formed cakes on a plate.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to get hot but not smoking.

Cook the Crab Cakes
Carefully place the crab cakes into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip the cakes gently.
