For the best flavor, use high-quality jumbo lump crabmeat. Be gentle when mixing the ingredients to avoid breaking up the lumps of crab. If the crab cake mixture is too wet, add a bit more panko bread crumbs. If it's too dry, add a touch more mayonnaise. Serve immediately with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce. A fresh green salad makes a delightful accompaniment.

01
Step
5 mins
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Season generously with salt and pepper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
In a medium bowl, gently combine the lump crabmeat, panko bread crumbs, and chopped fresh parsley. Delicately fold in the mayonnaise mixture, being careful not to overmix. Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
03
Step
20 mins
Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the crab cakes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and beautifully crisp. Transfer the cooked crab cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining patties, adding more oil to the skillet as needed. (Cook time: 15-20 minutes)
