Here is a crab fact...did you know that a female crab is known as a "she-crab"?
The meat from this beautiful blue-clawed swimming crab (male or female)is known for its delicious flavor and delicate texture. Each grade has distinctive flavor and appearance. Crab meat from the body is pale ivory and subtle in flavor; claw and leg meat has a darker, reddish color and is more flavorful. Either type of the crab meat is wonderful for cooking this dish or any other type crab recipes.
Ingredients
1 pound crab meat lump or claw
1 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
hot sauce or Tabasco to taste
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp seafood seasoning
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp prepared mustard
2 tbsp chopped parsley
1/4 tsp red pepper or cayenne
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 dashes Tabasco sauce
1/4 tsp onion powder
Butter for sautéing
Directions
In a medium glass bowl, combine all the ingredients except the crab meat, bread crumbs and butter. Blend well. Add the crab meat and mix in gently. Gradually add the bread crumbs to the mixture and shape into patties. These patties can be cooked right away but will cook better if chilled for at least an hour.
When ready to cook, melt butter in pan and saute the patties 4 minutes on each side.
