Maryland Style, I pretty much use the same recipe when I make salmon cakes.
Ingredients
1 pound crabmeat
2 slices white bread, crusts trimmed
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon-style prepared mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning TM
2 tablespoons butter
Directions
1.Pick the crab meat to remove any remaining pieces of shell.
2.Pick bread into small pieces and place in medium-size bowl with crabmeat. Add egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and Old Bay seasoning ™. Mix ingredients by hand to avoid overworking the crabmeat, you want to keep the lumps of meat as much as possible. Form into patties; this should make 6 good-size cakes.
3.Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet, then fry cakes for about 4 minutes each or until crispy golden brown.
