Ingredients

1 pound crabmeat
2 slices white bread, crusts trimmed
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning TM
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon-style prepared mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

Gently place the fresh crab meat in a large bowl, carefully removing any remaining shell fragments.
Tear bread into small, soft pieces and gently add them to the crab meat. In the same bowl, add the beaten egg, Old Bay seasoning, creamy mayonnaise, zesty mustard, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Gently mix all ingredients by hand, being careful not to overwork the delicate crab meat; preserve the natural lumps as much as possible. Form the mixture into approximately 6 evenly sized patties.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Carefully fry the crab cake patties in the hot, melted butter until they reach a beautiful golden brown color, approximately 4 minutes on each side.
