Chive Crab Cakes image

Most crab-cake recipes call for breadcrumbs or soda crackers; food editor Shira Bocar loves oyster crackers, so she crushes them up and folds them into the crab mixture before pan-searing the cakes.

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, plus more for serving
Coarse salt
1 cup oyster crackers, crushed (3/4 cup)
1 pound lump crabmeat, preferably Dungeness, picked over
2 tablespoons safflower oil
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire, chives, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Fold in crackers and crab just until combined. Using a 1/3-cup measuring cup, form mixture into 3-inch round patties.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Cook half of patties until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes a side. Repeat with remaining oil and patties. Sprinkle with chives and serve, with lemon wedges.

These crab cakes were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These crab cakes were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more Old Bay seasoning next time.

I had some trouble finding fresh chives at the store, so I used dried chives instead. The crab cakes still turned out great!

These crab cakes were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

I've tried many crab cake recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The chives add a wonderful flavor that really complements the crab.
