Crab Cakes

Crab season finally started and we had our first steamed crab of the season. We like to get live crabs, steam them and dip the crabmeat in a ginger/soy sauce mixture. It's simple but delicious!

We had leftover crab and made crab cakes with them. I like my crab cakes plain as well. Here's the recipe:

Crab Cakes

1 lb crabmeat, picked clean
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbs mayonnaise
2 Tbs Worchestershire sauce
1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
1/4 cup herb & garlic breadcrumbs
1 stalk celery chopped

Mix egg, mayonnaise, Worchestershire sauce, Old Bay Seasoning and breadcrumbs until combined. Add celery and mix well. Fold in crabmeat, taking care to avoid breaking up the crabmeat. Divide into 8 portions and form each into a thick patty. Coat with additional breadcrumbs and place on cookie sheet. Refrigerate at least an hour.

Heat oil in skillet and fry the crab cakes on each side until golden.
