Crab Cakes Recipe
Report
My crab cakes have plenty of crab meat, minimal filler, and tons of flavor fried into those crispy patties. In other words, they’re perfect!

Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp tabasco or hot sauce of choice
- 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning (See Note 1)
- 1 lb jumbo lump crabmeat
- 20 Ritz crackers or Saltines
- 1/4 cup canola oil
Serving options
- Lemon wedges for serving
- tartar sauce
- Cajun Remoulade
Instructions
- In a small measuring bowl, whisk together the egg, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and hot sauce until smooth.
- In a medium bowl, lightly break up the crabmeat if all in one lump being gentle to keep crab meat lumps intact.
- In a ziploc bag add the crackers, squeeze out the air and seal. Use a rolling pin and crush the crackers until crumbs form. Transfer to bowl with crab meat.
- Using a spatula, gently fold in the mayonnaise mixture with crab meat and cracker crumbs. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Using a 1/3-cup measure, scoop the crab mixture, lightly pack it and form 8 cakes, about 1 1/2 inches thick.
- In a large skillet over medium-high, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the crab cakes and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the crab cakes to plates and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
- You could also substitute Old Bay Seasoning with my Cajun Seafood Seasoning.
