Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

20 saltine crackers
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup canola oil
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Finely crush the saltine crackers in your hands and place in a large bowl. Add the crabmeat, reserving any crab juice in a separate small bowl.
  • To the bowl with the crab juice, add the mayonnaise egg, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce; whisk until smooth. Season with black pepper.
  • Gently fold the mayonnaise mixture into the crab and saltines. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Scoop the crab mixture into six patties, about 1 1/2-inches thick. Be careful not to handle the mixture too much.
  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over moderately high heat until shimmering. Add the crab cakes and cook until deeply golden and heated through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the crab cakes to plates and serve with lemon wedges.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I loved these crab cakes. They were so flavorful and moist, and the bread crumbs gave them a nice crispy crust. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone, even if they're not a fan of seafood.

I've made crab cakes before, but these were by far the best. The Old Bay seasoning really gives them a unique and delicious flavor. I served them with tartar sauce and lemon wedges, and they were a hit with my family and friends.
