Ingredients

1 1/4 cups mayonnaise
4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoon crab boil seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon freshly chopped parsley leaves
2 eggs, beaten
1 pound lump or backfin crabmeat
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat
2 slices white bread, crusts removed and torn into small pieces
1/4 cup unsalted butter, as needed
Serving Suggestion: Tartar sauce

Directions

Whisk together the first 7 ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

Spread the crabmeat on a cookie sheet and carefully remove any bits of shell. Transfer to a large bowl and toss gently with the bread. Spoon the wet mix over the crabmeat and gently fold until just combined. Allow the

mixture to rest in refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Shape the mixture into 12 even-sized cakes (approximately 4 ounces each). Chill the crab cakes for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight to firm up.

Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the crab cakes, turning once, until golden brown and heated through. (Alternatively, bake in a preheated 400 degree F. oven for 15 to 20 minutes.)

Serve immediately.

Great recipe with a few modifications..
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I received excellent comments from my guest about the crab cakes. I reduced the amount of mayo to one cup because I was... concerned about the cakes being too greasy, reduced the amount of Old Bay seasoning to taste to avoid the cakes from being too salty, and added the rest of the first seven ingredients to taste. II also used 3 pounds of fresh jumbo lump blue crab meat. The mixture was still very wet. You absolutely must chill the cakes. I actually put the cakes on a cookie sheet, covered them with aluminum foil and placed them in the freezer for about 45 minutes, with the intent not to freeze, but to make them still enough to place them on the broiler pan without them falling about. This worked very well. Once golden brown on one side, the texture was firm enough to flip for browning on the other side. The broiler pan allowed the excess oil to drip off, leaving the cakes moist, but not greasy. The flavor was mouth watering. For garnishment on the side I made a mango salsa that complemented the crab cakes. I also made cocktail sauce from scratch using the recipe on the food network which was outstanding.Read more

Very Good Flavor, but...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These had excellent flavor, but I had a really hard time frying them as well. They were way too wet. I followed all of the... measurements precisely. However, I didn't chill them as it specifies, so that may have been my problem. I'm actually going to try them again and this time, I will mix all of the wet ingredients and then add in as much as I think the dry ingredients will take to form a cake that will stay together. I am hoping for better luck, because I really LOVED the flavor, and I'm from Baltimore!!Read more

Did Anyone Really TRY This Recipe
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Wow ... this recipe is so salty as to be almost inedible. How could anyone review this recipe without mentioning the... overwhelming saltiness? I suspect the 2T of Old Bay was supposed to be 2t instead.Read more
