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.
