Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound picked over fresh backfin blue crab meat (if you can't get fresh crab meat you can substitute a can of crab meat - I recommend Philip's if you have to go that route.
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons bread crumbs
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat 2 inches of oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, carefully mixing to not over shred the crab meat.
  3. Form the mixture into patties and fry for 4 minutes and carefully flip over. Drain on paper towels before serving.
