Method
Crab Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Crab Mixture
In a large bowl, gently combine the jumbo lump crab meat, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much; you want to keep the lumps intact.

Add Eggs and Bread Crumbs
Once your crab mixture is well combined, add the eggs and bread crumbs. Mix gently until just combined. This will help bind the mixture without compromising the lump crab texture.
For Cooking

Form the Crab Cakes
Using your hands, form the crab mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place the formed crab cakes on a plate lined with parchment paper.
