- 1 Lb. Blue Crab Meat
- ⅓ Cup Butter Round Crackers (ie., Ritz)
- 1 Small Yellow Onion (about a ¼ cup diced)
- ¼ Cup Mayonnaise
- 1 Egg
- 1 TSP Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 TSP Dry Mustard

- ¼ TSP Garlic Powder
- 1 TSP Salt
- 2 TSP Old Bay Seasoning
- ½ Cup Peanut or Vegetable Oil
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients. Dice onion. Crush crackers. Ensure all shells removed from crab meat.
- In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients except the cooking oil.
- Shape the mixture into patties. Generally this will make 6 large cakes.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Once hot, add cakes carefully. Cook in batches if necessary, to allow enough room for cakes to cook without touching one another.

- Remove from skillet onto a plate lined with a paper towel.
- Serve immediately with your favorite seafood sauce.
