Method

For the Crab Cakes

1

Prepare the Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the blue crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well combined.

2

Form the Cakes

Shape the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. You should yield about 8 crab cakes.

3

Chill the Cakes

Place the shaped crab cakes on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

4

Cook the Cakes

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

5

Serve

Serve warm, accompanied by comeback sauce.
