Shape the cakes
Form the mixture into patties about 3 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them set.

Fry the crab cakes
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the crab cakes, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
