Step by Step Method

Step 1

Open the can and place the crabmeat in a bowl of ice water for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the canned meat and pat dry. I used a fine mesh strainer. This helps remove the canned taste from the crabmeat.

Step 3

Place the crabmeat in a large mixing bowl and add the egg, green onions, red pepper, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay and bread crumbs.

Step 4

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Step 5

Divide mixture and form into four crab cakes. I used an ice cream scoop to do this part. They are really delicate.

Step 6

Heat oil in skillet and cook crab cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Step 7

Serve as desired.

Excellent tasting crab cakes! I used back fin meat. The tip for getting rid of the canned taste was great! I wound up baking mine though as I didn't have enough oil. Made for Alphabet Soup tag.

Thanks, Roxanne for the great tip of soaking the canned crab in ice water. It really works! Was scouting around in my pantry and found a can of crab. These were the best canned crab cakes I think I've ever made. I made homemade tartar sauce and added a bit of sriracha.
