Crabby Crab Cakes
by Crab-O-licious
These Crabby Crab Cakes are sure to cheer you're mood and please the taste buds of any crowd! What makes these so wonderfully "crabby" is that they are jam-packed full of sweet juicy crab meat. 2 cups full to be exact! You know what they say..."The crabbier the better!" Enjoy!
Directions: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, eggs, sour cream, parsley, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and cayenne; fold in the crab meat and bread crumbs gently. Form 1/2-cup measures of the mixture into twelve 3/4-inch-thick cakes. Transfer the crab cakes as they are formed to a baking sheet sprinkled with half the cornmeal. Sprinkle the crab cakes with the remaining cornmeal and chill them, covered, for at least 1 hour or overnight. In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it is hot. Sauté the crab cakes in batches for 3 to 4 minutes, turning them only once on each side, or until they are golden. Transfer them when they are golden brown to paper towels to drain. Keep the crab cakes warm on another baking sheet in a 200°F. oven. Serve the crab cakes with the tarragon tartar sauce and the lemon wedges. Makes about 12 crab cakes. Serves 6.

Their shells will turn bright red when properly cooked. Already cooked crab meat is widely available. Although it's often sold frozen, seek out fresh cooked crab meat for the best flavor and texture. In the months of September through April, during most crab fishing seasons is when the local fish markets often sell cooked whole crabs. Ask for them to be cleaned and cracked, or take them home crack them yourself and then remove the meat. Join our newletter "Crab Clique"
