Blue Crab Cakes

To make this Blue Crab Cakes recipe, use only fresh crab meat, not pasteurized crab meat. The cooking process for this crab species is the same as for the Dungeness Crab, however, the results will not be the same. These crab cakes are chocked-full of delicious Blue Crab meat and are absolutely worthy of being in the best crab cake recipes catagory!

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 Cup-Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 Cup-Pasteurized Eggs
  • 1/2 Tablespoon-Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 Tablespoon-Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/2 Tablespoon-Dry Mustard
  • 1/2 Teaspoon-Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon-Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 Loaf-White Bread-crusts removed-diced
  • 2 Pounds-Blue Crab meat
  • 3 Tablespoons-Fresh Parsley-chopped

Combine the mayo, eggs, Old Bay seasoning, pepper, mustard, salt and Worcestershire sauce in a small mixing bowl, blend well.

Mix the bread, crab meat and parsley in a separate medium sized bowl. Gently fold in the sauce into the crab meat mixture. Careful not to break up the lump crab meat. Chill for 2 hours before forming the crab cakes, so that the bread will absorb the liquid. Once chilled, portion crab mixture into 4-ounce cakes. Chill again before cooking about 30 minutes to an hour wil do.

These cakes can be deep-fried, pan-fried or lightly drizzled with oil or cooking spray and baked in the oven at 400 degrees.

If deep frying, fry until the crab cakes are a deep golden brown. If pan-frying, fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side till they are a deep golden brown.

Serve with your favorite crab dip recipe.
