Instructions
- Whisk egg, mayonnaise, dry mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add crab, saltines and parsley. Gently fold together, just until combined. Form into 4 patties (about ¾-inch thick). Wrap patties in waxed paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add crab cakes and cook until golden and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
- Serve with lemon and tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.
Notes
- Since jumbo lump crabmeat is very pricey, you can also use other refrigerated fresh crab meat, such as lump crab meat (which is a little bit smaller than the jumbo lump) or even backfin crab meat in a pinch. Shelf-stable canned crabmeat (near the tuna fish) and claw meat are not my preference for this recipe.
