Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your crab cakes. Look for crabs that are firm and have a sweet smell. You can also use frozen crab meat, but make sure it's thawed and drained before using.
  • Don't overmix the crab mixture: Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined.
  • Form the crab cakes into patties: Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to scoop the crab mixture and then gently form it into a patty. Don't press the mixture too tightly, or the crab cakes will be dense.
  • Pan-fry the crab cakes: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Pan-fry the crab cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the crab cakes immediately: Serve the crab cakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or lemon butter.
