Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Crab Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the fresh lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, eggs, breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix carefully to avoid breaking up the crab meat too much.
- 2
Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crab mixture for at least 30 minutes. This will help the mixture firm up, making it easier to form into cakes.
Cooking
- 3
Shape the Crab Cakes
After chilling, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Using your hands, shape the mixture into round cakes, about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. You should get about 8 cakes.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. You should have enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet.
- 5
Fry the Crab Cakes
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
