• Slowly pour dressing into the crab meat mixture, using a fork to gently lift and fluff the texture.

CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Pick meat from crabs.
• Combine egg, mayonnaise, Tabasco, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
• Add crabmeat, breadcrumbs and parsley and mix well, but gently so as not to break up the crab meat too much.
• Form mixture into 12 balls, place on a plate and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• In the palm of your hands, flatten balls into discs and coat well with breadcrumbs.
• Melt clarified butter in a frying pan and fry crab cakes, in batches if necessary, turning once until golden on both sides. Keep warm in a low oven while cooking remaining batches if necessary.
• Notes: You can use other types of crabs for this recipe, or 500g fresh crabmeat if you don't want to pick your own. Frozen crabmeat won't work as well, as the texture of these cakes relies on the large, succulent chunks of crabmeat. If using frozen crabmeat make sure you drain it well, squeezing to extract as much excess moisture as possible. Make breadcrumbs by pulsing stale bread in a food processor until crumbed.

THE BEST CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the crab cakes: Gently fold together the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, Dijon mustard, seafood seasoning, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper and the juice and zest of one lemon in a large bowl. Refrigerate the crab mixture for 15 minutes to firm up; this allows the breadcrumbs to absorb some of the liquid, helping the crab cakes bind together.
• Meanwhile, make the tartar sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, chives, zest and juice of 1 lemon in a medium bowl and mix until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Scoop heaping half cups of the crab mixture and pat into 2 1/2-inch wide patties. Lightly press them together so they do not fall apart while cooking. You should have 8 patties.
• Heat 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crab cakes to the pan and cook until golden, about 2 minutes, then flip using a flat metal spatula. Continue to cook until lightly golden, about 1 1/2 minutes then transfer the pan to the oven. Cook until the crab cakes are completely heated through, about 10 minutes.
• Serve the crab cakes with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
