Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh crab meat
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying (neutral), 240 mL total
  • For the Lemon Dill Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, gently mix crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly moist.
  2. Shape the mixture into small cakes, about 1.5 inches wide, to form approximately 24 pieces.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat (about 175°C or 350°F). Fry the cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper to make the dipping sauce.
  5. Plate the crab cake bites and serve with sauce on the side, garnished with lemon wedges.
