Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
½ (4 ounce) packet saltine crackers, crushed
1 medium bell pepper, minced
2 stalks green onions, white parts only, minced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons mayonnaise, or more to taste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, or more to taste
2 pounds cooked blue crabmeat, drained
2 tablespoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs, or more as needed
2 tablespoons canola oil, or more as needed
Directions
Mix crushed crackers, bell pepper, green onions, egg, mayonnaise, and Dijon together in a large bowl. Gently fold in crabmeat, seafood seasoning, and black pepper using a wooden spoon or spatula. Form crabmeat mixture into 1/2-inch-thick patties, 2 to 3 inches in diameter.
Put bread crumbs on a plate. Coat patties with bread crumbs.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties in batches and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining patties, adding more oil as needed.
Cook's Note:
To crush the saltine crackers, put a half-sleeve of crackers in a zip-top plastic bag, seal, and crush with a rolling pin.
