• 16 oz. fresh lump crab meat
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

• 1/2 Chopped Medium Sized Onion or several green onions
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1/2 Diced Green Pepper
• 4 Cloves Minced Fresh Garlic
• 2 tbsp Heavy Cream
• 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
• 2 tbsp Mayonaise
• 6 Saltine Crackers
• Lemon juice from 1/2 lemon
• ¼ Cup Chopped Fresh Parsley
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 large egg

• Canola oil for frying

Delicious Crab Cake directions:

1. Combine 1/2 chopped green pepper, 1/2 chopped medium-sized onion or several green onions, and 4 cloves chopped garlic with 1 tbsp Olive oil in a medium-sized fry pan. Saute until onions are soft and translucent. Be careful not to burn the garlic, it will lose its flavor.
2. Then combine 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 6 crunched-up saltine crackers, juice from 1/2 a lemon, 1/4 cup chopped, fresh parsley, and 2 tbsp heavy cream in a large bowl. Then mix completely, and with a rubber spatula fold in the lump crabmeat.
3. Next in 3 separate bowls prepare 2 cups flour, 3 beaten eggs, and 2 cups breadcrumbs. 
4. Take the crab mixture and mold 4 separate cakes. Be careful to keep the crab cake mixture together.
5. Next, dredge the crab cakes in flour, dip them in beaten eggs until completely covered, and then coat them with bread crumbs, ensuring they are fully covered. Repeat this process with all four crab cakes and set aside.
6. In a deep and large nonstick pan heat the canola oil to 325 degrees F. Use enough oil to cover the crab cakes when you deep fry them.
7. Carefully immerse and fry crab cakes in the oil until they are crispy and brown. This should take 15-20 minutes. Carefully turn them over about halfway through the cooking time.

Helpful tips for this easy recipe:

It may be challenging to keep the crab cakes together before you dredge them in flour. Keep in mind that the less filling you use, the more pronounced the crab flavor will be. These crab cakes contain lots of crab filling; if you find them difficult to handle, you can add more crushed saltines or breadcrumbs to create a drier mixture. Remember, using more filling will result in less crab flavor. When you start cooking crab cakes, the crispy shell will hold them together.

Variations of Fried Crab Cakes Recipes:

You can enhance your jumbo lump crab cakes by adding fresh seafood such as shrimp or lobster meat for added variety. If you have access to blue crab meat, you can create real Maryland crab cakes. Other types of fresh crab meat, like Dungeness crab or any larger crab variety, can also be used. my favorite is still jumbo lump meat.
