1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 egg
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Dash cayenne pepper
Flour, for dusting
1/2 cup peanut oil
Favorite dipping sauce, for serving

Serve warm with preferred sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh crab meat: Fresh crab meat is essential for making delicious crab cakes. Look for crab meat that is firm and has a sweet, briny smell. Avoid any crab meat that is slimy or has an off odor.
  • Use a variety of crab meat: For the best flavor, use a variety of crab meat, such as blue crab, dungeness crab, and rock crab. This will give your crab cakes a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Do not overmix the crab cakes: Overmixing the crab cakes will make them tough. Gently mix the ingredients together until they are just combined.
  • Cook the crab cakes over medium heat: Cooking the crab cakes over medium heat will help them to cook evenly without burning. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the crab cakes will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce: Crab cakes can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or remoulade sauce.
