Ingredients

  • 1 pound lump crab meat (picked clean of shells)
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard seed
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon sweet onion (very finely minced)

  • 2 slices white bread (crusts removed, ripped up)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons milk
  • canola oil, if frying

Preparation

In a large bowl mix milk and bread together with a fork until it becomes like a paste. Add all ingredients (except cooking oil)and mix well. Form into six patties. (If it doesn't hold together well add a little more mayo.)

Pour oil in a cast iron skillet until it is about 1/4 inch deep. Heat on medium high heat for about 5 minutees. Gently add patties and fry on each side 2-3 minutes until nicely browned. Drain on paper towel.

To broil, refrigerate patties for at least one hour, then place on a greased cookie sheet about 3 inches from broiler. Broil approximately 5 minutes on each side.
