Crab Cakes – Version 2
Oh yes, these tasted as delicious as they look! I have been on a seafood binge lately and these Crab Cakes really hit the spot. There is not a lot of filler in these Crab Cakes which makes them taste even better! This recipe will make 6 large 3/4” thick Crab Cakes or 36 bite sized Crab Cakes.

Ingredients
Place the crab meat into a medium bowl.
Pick through the crab meat and remove
any shell pieces or cartilage.
Flake the crab meat with a fork.
Add the bread crumbs, onions,
green pepper and parsley.
Mix until combined; set aside.
In a small bowl combine mayonnaise,
egg, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice,
mustard, salt and pepper.
Stir to combine then whisk until smooth.
Pour the mixture over the crab.
Stir until completely mixed into the crab.
Divide the crab mixture into 6 equal
crab cakes (or you could also make
36 bite sized crab cakes).
Place them on waxed paper.
Handle gently or these will fall apart easily.
In a large heavy bottom frying pan,
add enough oil to fry the crab
cakes (I used about 1/2” of oil).
Heat the oil over medium heat.
Carefully add the crab cakes.
Cook until golden brown, turn over
to cook the other side. Place crab cakes
on a paper towel to remove the oil,
carefully patting both sides then serve.

We love crab cakes, but I’ve never made them. Now I have an easy recipe! 🙂
Yes it really is an easy and good recipe. This recipe is almost like eating plain crab but with so much flavor. All the others recipes I have tried are always coated in so much breading and these don’t get coated which is why they are so good. Thank you Robin!
A lot healthier too, I imagine.
They also look delicious!
Good old cast iron cooking…lol Thanks!
I use cast iron all of the time!

I once tried to eat crab meat. I can’t remember why, but we (my family and I) couldn’t eat them.
It can be fixed many ways. My favorite is cooked and eaten right from the crab shell then dipped in butter….so good!
But interesting recipe
Thanks!
Definitely something in the wish list. Copied the recipe. Thank you Diane

All right, I’m your 100th LIKE for this post, Diane! Haha!
I had always wondered how to make ’em crab cakes. Never knew one could put mayo in it too. Hmm, I’ll make sure to grab some crab meat the next time I’m at the store, to give my Pops a try of this.
A very Merry Christmas to ya, Diane!

Thanks for sharing!
Crab Cakes are one of my favorite things. I have to try these. They sound amazing!
Thank you and enjoy…I sure did!
I love crab cakes Diane – it’s been years since I had any. (I am hopelessly behind in Reader.)
That’s ok! It’s always nice to hear from you no matter when I posted it!
That’s great as I feel badly – not only have I had internet problems, but my boss is getting ready to go on vacation as of Thursday so I’ve been staying a little later too. I had a post in mind for today on food (of all things … for me) and then I was so behind here, I decided to put it off. It is about cookies and I remembered an old post I did about Christmas cookies and searched for it … I will share this tidbit with you Diane – Wednesday is National Bake Cookies Day (12/18/18), so I’ll put my post over to Wednesday – perhaps I’ll be caught up by then!
I am looking forward to it!!
Thank you!
😋😋😋
Thank you!
