Original Old Bay Crab Cakes



*Ingredients 

°1 can 10 oz crabmeat in large chunks
°1 can 10 oz crumbled crabmeat
°1/4 t. (60 ml) store-bought mayonnaise
°1/2 Spanish onion, finely chopped
°1/2 tsp. tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
°1/2 tsp. dry mustard
°2 tbsp. tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning spice blend (optional)
°2 eggs
°Cayenne pepper
°24 soda crackers, crushed
°oil for cooking

*Methods

Mix all the ingredients, including the water contained in the 2 cans of crab (I only added the water from one can), reserving half of the soda crackers for breading. Form a dozen cake by working them with your hands.

Roll cake in reserved soda crackers.

Cook the cake in a hot skillet coated with a good layer of cooking oil, for 5 to 7 minutes, turning them several times. Donuts should be warm inside and crispy on the surface.

Tooltip:
The “Old Bay Seasoning” mix can be found in some delicatessens and fishmongers. If this is not the case, we can ask our grocer, who can easily find it, since it is a product from a major brand (McCormick/Club house).
You can find canned crab in fishmongers, but also in most supermarkets, in the frozen food section.
We can take inspiration from this recipe to cook “tuna cakes”, therefore made with canned tuna, but it will obviously be something else.
Cayenne pepper is already a pepper, we do not add black pepper.
No salt is added either; canned crabmeat is usually salty enough.

Enjoy !
