THE BEST CRAB CAKES
When we set out to make the "best" crab cakes, opinions in the test kitchen were strong and varied. But we could all agree on plenty of fresh, high-quality crabmeat with very little filler. After some tinkering, we created these decadent cakes-generously sized and highly seasoned-with plenty of lemon juice, fresh herbs and spices. The jumbo lump crabmeat is front and center, so splurge on the best and freshest you can find.

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.
EMERIL'S CRAB CAKES
Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, and peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to saute for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and cool for 5 minutes. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crabmeat, green onions, grated cheese, parsley, Creole mustard, and juice of 1 lemon. Mix to incorporate. Set the mixture aside.
- In a food processor with a metal blade, process 1 egg and remaining lemon juice for 1 minute. With the machine running, slowly add 1 cupvegetable oil. The mixture will be thick after all the oil is incorporated. Add the Worcestershire and hot sauce, process the mixture to incorporate. Season the mayonnaise with salt and pepper.
- Fold the cooled sauteed vegetables into the crab mixture. Fold 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise and 3/4 cup of the bread crumbs into the crab mixture. Mix gently but thoroughly. In a shallow bowl, season the flour with 1 teaspoon of the Creole seasoning and the white pepper. In another bowl, whisk the remaining egg with the water. Finally in 1 bowl, combine the remaining bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning together. Portion the filling into 1/3 cup balls. Form the balls into patties, about 1-inch thick. Pour the remaining 2 1/2 cups oil into a saute pan and heat to 360 degrees F, about 2 minutes. Dredge the cakes in the seasoned flour. Dip the cakes in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Dredge the cakes in the seasoned bread crumbs, covering the cakes completely. Gently lay the cakes in the oil and fry for 4 minutes on each side. Remove the cakes from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season the cakes with the remaining Creole seasoning. Serve with Maw-Maw's Slaw and Creole Tartar Sauce.
- Place the white cabbage, red cabbage, greens, red onions, green onions, and parsley in a large salad bowl. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and sugar. Mix well. Add the mixture to the greens and toss to mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Serve chilled. The slaw can be made (or chilled) 3 hours ahead.
- Put the egg, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and green onions in a food processor and puree for 15 seconds. With the processor running, pour the oil through the feed tube in a steady stream. Add the cayenne, mustard, and salt and pulse once or twice to blend. Cover and let sit for 1 hour in the refrigerator before using. Best if used within 24 hours.
ERIC'S CRAB CAKES
I have been working on this recipe since --Jan, 2018. I am still tweaking it. I didn't start with any particular recipe other than that on the back of a breadcrumb canister (called for crab, mayo, bread crumbs and salt). I have made this dozens of times, each time adding something, or changing a technique, or subtracting something, or changing a temperature, etc... I have resourced online videos and feedback from friends to help develop this. It is still a work in progress and I am posting it here so I can continue to reference it. It is close to finished (as of 06/01/18 Note: Garnish notes are just for me at the moment, feel free to garnish however you want :-)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350f.
- Heat skillet to med hi heat and melt 2T butter. Place diced onions, red pepper, and celery in butter, season to taste ( a little S&P) and saute until soft and translucent. Remove from heat and place in large mixing bowl.
- Add all ingredients down to and including the egg (Whisk it first, in a separate bowl).
- Now it is time to start being gentle. Add the Breadcrumbs gently to the mix. We need it fully incorporated, but we don't want to make a mush of it. Try to get it wet with the mixture without smooshing it into a paste (Not that easy, but doable).
- Now for the crab. Fold in the crab gently so as not to break it up too much.
- Shape mixture ( don't cut out) into individual crab cakes (I am using a 2 1/4 round form) 1 - 1 1/2 inch high. Set on plate and cover with plastic wrap air tight. Set in fridge over night or at least 3 hours (this allows the egg to "set" the cake together - I prefer overnight).
- When ready to cook: Whisk together the 3 eggs in a shallow bowl. Prepare 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs on plate for coating.
- Gently (one at a time) set the crab cakes in the egg wash. Using a spatula or spoon wash the egg over the crab cake then flip, and wash the other side.Be very gentle with the flipping / washing so as not to break apart your cake. Remove to the panko and coat each side. flip on end and evenly coat the edges of each cake by rolling in the panko. I do this one at a time due to limited space on the breadcrumb plate. Set on clean plate.
- Heat oil in skillet on medium heat. once oil is hot enough to sizzle a loose breadcrumb place cakes in pan into oil in a circular pattern. Fry on first side for about 3 - 4 minutes (check bottom for golden brown color ( DON'T BURN). Gently flip to other side.
- Once flipped, drop in the other 2T of butter (scattered around skillet) and begin basting the sides of each cake with the butter / oil mixture. Once the bottoms are brown, pick up each cake and place it on its side, rolling them to achieve a bit of color all around the cake.
- At this point, we are almost done! remove each cake from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate(to absorb extra oil).
- Transfer to a roasting rack lined baking sheet (or just on the sheet if you don't have a roasting rack) and place in oven for ten minutes.
- Remove from oven and plate.
- Using a remoulade (I am currently using #87124) dress the cakes over with zig-zag lines and place a small pool on the side. (A piece of folded romaine with some halved cherry tomatoes also looks nice).
- For Garnish: Place finely julienne'd onion stem and red pepper in ice water bath for at least 15 minutes (they should be nicely curled up). Pull from water and place on paper towel to drain. Once drained, place a little of each (I prefer to get them mixed up) on top of each crab cake. Serve.
- take photos :-) Enjoy!

- In a medium bowl mix together the egg, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning and hot sauce. Stir in the bell pepper and scallion. Gently fold in the crab, 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs and salt and pepper to taste. Put the remaining bread rumbs in a shallow dish.
- Divide the crab mixture into 8 mounds. Shape 1 mound into a round and coat in bread crumbs. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and flatten the crab cake to form a patty about 1-inch high. Repeat to form the remaining crab cakes.
- Bake until golden on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Gently flip the crab cakes and cook until the second side is golden, 5 to 10 minutes longer.
- Spoon yogurt into a small bowl lined with paper towels. Place in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour until some of the liquid from the yogurt is released. Scoop thickend yogurt into a small bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine.
