By courtneyepowell

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, plus more for serving
• Coarse salt
• 1 cup oyster crackers, crushed (3/4 cup)
• 1 pound lump crabmeat, preferably Dungeness, picked over
• 2 tablespoons safflower oil
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Combine mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire, chives, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Fold in crackers and crab just until combined. Using a 1/3-cup measuring cup, form mixture into 3-inch round patties.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Cook half of patties until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes a side. Repeat with remaining oil and patties. Sprinkle with chives and serve, with lemon wedges.
