Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
16 saltine crackers, finely crushed
2 tablespoons water
1 pound flaked cooked crabmeat
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®) (Optional)
1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup vegetable oil for frying
Directions
Stir together crushed crackers and water in a large bowl. Let stand until softened, about 1 minute. Fold in crabmeat, egg, mayonnaise, and mustard. Add seafood seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; stir gently until evenly mixed. Form crab mixture into 3/4-inch-thick patties and place on a tray.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook patties in hot oil until golden brown and hot in the center, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.
Editor's Note:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
