Print This Recipe

By Rob Barrett, Jr. – Cooking for Dads. Here is my variation on a traditional Maryland Crab cake. We started vacationing in Maryland where we started making these, but now we rent a house in North Carolina, thus the southern influence on the recipe.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb crab (fresh if possible)
  • 1 cup Ritz crackers, crumbled
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

  1. Mix together all ingredients in a bowl and then form into small patties.

  2. In a frying pan on medium heat, melt a little butter if necessary, then fry each patty for 3 or 4 minutes a side until just browned and firm. Serve hot.
