Crab Cakes

After you have lived in Maryland for awhile you start to wonder what all the buzz is about these things...so I went to the source Phillip's Seafood and found this! It's the original recipe from the company. And they are good! So even if you haven't  visited Maryland, you can get Phillip's crab meat all over the country in cans at the grocery store...so enjoy! And learn what the buzz is all about!


1 lb (16 ounces) crabmeat we can get fresh here, if you can get fresh get it
2 eggs
2 teaspoons worchestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
2 Tablespoons mayo if making lots have been known to make this from scratch...fresh mayo is always a nice treat
1 teaspoon lemon juice normally just squeeze an entire lemon, we like lemon
3 teaspoons mustard
3 teaspoons melted butter
1 teaspoon parsley flakes if I add this it's always fresh and closer to 1/4 cup...tore up or chopped fine.
1 teaspoon Old Bay
1/2 cup bread crumbs I have used Ritz crackers, or have made homemade breadcrumbs but store bought bread crumbs work great!

In a medium mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients except the crab meat. After mixing the ingredients, add crab meat and mix well with a spatula, be careful to not break apart the meat.

Form into cakes, pan fry in butter on each side about 6-8 minutes over medium heat until golden brown. Serve with favorite sauce or lemon wedges.

Makes: 6-8 normal cakes
