Instructions

Step 1

FOR THE CRAB CAKES:

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up.

Step 3

Combine the eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, Old Bay, salt, celery, and parsley in a large bowl and mix well.

Step 4

Add the crab meat (be sure to check the meat for any hard and sharp cartilage) and panko; using a rubber spatula, gently fold the mixture together until just combined, being careful not to shred the crab meat.

Step 5

Shape into 12 cakes and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps them set.

Step 6

Preheat a large nonstick pan over medium heat and coat with oil. When the oil is hot, place the crab cakes in the pan and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Be careful as oil may splatter. Serve the crab cakes warm with the tartar sauce.
