Ingredients
- 1 lb lump crab meat
- 1 talk celery
- 1/4 cup chives
- Juice of 1/2 of a lemon
- 2 tsp fresh parsley
- 1 tsp tarragon dried or 2 tsp fresh
- 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs plus more for coating cakes.
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- salt and pepper to taste
- olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Chop 2/3 of the crab into medium chunks. Leave 1/3 in large chunks.
- Chop herbs and vegetables, finely.
- Add all ingredients to mixing bowl.
- Gently, but thoroughly mix.
- Make cakes in whatever size you like. Mine were about 3 ounces each.
- Press each cake into panko so that the panko sticks.
- Place on a plate. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the panko soak up the liquids and bind, and for the flavors to meld.
- Shallow fry in cast iron pan in oil.

Notes
- It's important to let the cakes rest in the refrigerator to let the breading bind.
- Serve with comeback sauce, tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.
- Crab cakes can be assembled and frozen. Freeze in a single layer on a tray and then place in freezer bags. Freeze up to 3 months. To reheat, brush cakes with oil or melted butter and bake at 400°F for 20-30 minutes until golden brown and hot.
- Cooked crab cakes can be frozen and reheated. Bake at 400°F from frozen for about 20 minutes, until hot.
