Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and chopped parsley.

2. 2

   Gently mix the ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

3. 3

   Shape the mixture into 8 patties, about 1 inch thick.

4. 4

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

5. 5

   Once the oil is hot, add the crab cakes to the skillet.

6. 6

   Cook the crab cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

7. 7

   Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

8. 8

   Serve the crab cakes warm, with your choice of sauce or garnish.
