Great looking meal! Care to share recipe and method?
Happy to share. ingredients are:
Maryland Crab, (however North Carolina crab will work in pinch
1 pound of lump and one pound of Jumbo. I always pick through just to make sure there are no small pieces of crab shells.
one egg
saltine crackers finely ground (about 3/4 of sleeve)
mayonnaise about 1/4 of cup
Old Bay seasoning
Dijon Mustard
Worcestershire sauce
salt
chopped parsley or cilantro
Lemon juice
If you go on the internet they will tell the amount they recommend however for me it is about the crabmeat so I use less then required
Mix the egg, mayo, mustard, Old Bay, Worcestershire and salt together and gently fold into the crab then fold in the lemon juice and Parsley. Be careful not to crush the crab as you are paying for the size of the crabmeat. Also if you fail to mix all of the ingredients together just add them to the crabmeat.
I then use an ice cream scoop and make the crab cakes. Place in the refrigerator for an hour or two to firm up. Before broiling I oil the pan and the crab cakes with evoo and cook until brown about 5 or six minutes.
For the FF I peel and cut them using a mandoline and place in cold water for about an hour or two then drain them and add new water. Before air frying them I toss in EVOO and Old Bay and cook at 390 for about 28 minute or cooked to your liking. an air fryer to cook them
