Lump Crab Cakes

We live in the Midwest where the beef is king.  So seafood is a special and kind or rare treat for us, and when we have it, we make sure it's good. These Lump Crab Cakes are moist and soft without a lot of filler, just enough to hold the crab cakes together.

We usually forego the classic remoulade and serve them with my Homemade Tartar Sauce, which is essentially a marriage between the two anyway, with the combination of both sweet and savory pickles and a touch of mustard.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lump crab meat
  • ½ cup crushed butter crackers
  • 3 green onions finely sliced
  • ¼ cup mayo
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dry ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • ½ cup butter
  • Flour for dusting

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add crab, crackers, and green onions. Stir with a fork to combine.
  • Add remaining ingredients except butter and flour, and stir again to combine.
  • Scoop about ¼ cup of crab mixture to form a ball, and flatten. Repeat to use all of the remaining crab mixture.
  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt butter. Make sure butter is hot enough before frying. You can test it by adding a pinch of flour. If it bubbles, then it's ready for frying.
  • In batches, dust crab cakes with a little flour, then place in the skillet with butter.
  • Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes, or until golden on the outside and cooked through.
