This is my lovely wife's crab cake recipe. IT IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
No, she didn't make me say that---the cakes are the best.
Here ya are---
C wrote this down this am for all you ifish crabbers---enjoy---

1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup " " onion
Saute in 1Tbl butter
Cool
Combine in a bowl and mix well
celery and onion mix
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 or 2 Tbl mayo
1 egg
1/4 to 1/3 cup parmesan or romano grated cheese
3 Tbl dry or fresh parsley
1/2 tsp hot sauce or more to taste
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Gently fold the above mixture with 2 cups of crab meat. Fold gently so not to break up the crab pieces.
Shape into 6 to 8 patties

They can now be frozen or eaten fresh.
When ready to cook, coat with panco bread crumbs and fry until browned. Of course the patty is already cooked, so only need to cook until browned and warmed inside.

Damn--I'm really hungry now --gotta go.

I would assume that you would cook them after forming the patties - fry, or bake? Looks like a step is missing?

Mrs. Sea whipped up some of these when she got home from work - were going to have them for dinner later, but had to fry one up - oh my they are tasty and very meaty.

That sounds excellent.
I make almost the exact recipe using red bellpepper instead of celery, I think I'll add the celery now..Thanks.
I also add 1 tsp of dry mustard.

Thought I would bump this, since it is crab season and they are killer! I have made these cakes a few times now and the whole family loves them. Only change I ever make is use saltines crushed up instead of bread crumbs. Thanks for the recipe!
