Preparation

Step 1

Mix egg, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, mustard, mayo, and spices in bowl. Add crab meat (after sorting for shell but avoiding break-up of lumps) then bread crumbs. Mix gently with fork. The mixture is quite damp but cakes are formable. Refrigerate a while.

Heat oil (3/4 inch deep) in skillet until water droplets spatter. Fry cakes until golden brown on one side (about 2 minutes); turn and fry another 2 minutes. Drain well on paper towels.
