Peanut oil, nice and hot, gives the crab cakes a nice clean-tasting fry. A squeeze of lemon is all they need after that!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the crab, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, scallions, egg, Old Bay seasoning, mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Shape into six 3-inch patties.
- In a large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, carefully place the crab cakes, in batches, in the pan and fry until the undersides are golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip the crab cakes and fry on the other side until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Serve warm, with pretty lemon wedges.
CRAB SAVANNAH
A good friend of mine once said that there was nothing like food in Georgia. Boy was he right! This dish was served to me at a very informal "formal" dinner party. The informality was that we all just sat around and ate and talked. The formality was this dish and believe me, it is something I would never hesitate to serve to anyone. I was very glad he wasn't stingy with the recipe because I think I could eat this at least once a week!
