Y'all need to try Maryland crab cakes with lump meat fresh from the Chesapeake. Mmmmmmmmmm!

Two cakes and fresh oysters right off the boat. Life doesn't get much better!

Ingredients:
1 pound lump crab meat
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 large egg
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Margarine, butter, or oil for frying

Remove all cartilage from crabmeat.

In a bowl, mix bread crumbs, eggs, mayonnaise and seasonings.

Add crab meat and mix gently but thoroughly. If mixture is too dry, add a little more mayonnaise. Shape into 6 cakes.

Cook cakes in a frying pan in just enough fat to prevent sticking until they are browned (about 5 minutes on each side).

*Note: If desired, crab cakes may be deep fried at 350 degrees for 2 to 3 minutes or until browned.

Cheers.
Jim
