Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Pick through crab to remove any shell fragments that may be left behind.
  2. Saute onion and celery until transparent in a tablespoon of canola or vegetable oil. Cool.
  3. Mix crab, onion, celery, thyme leaves, lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, Tabasco and 1/4 cup of bread crumbs.
  4. Fold very lightly, making sure not to break up the crab meat (I broke up about 3/4 of the crab SLIGHTLY because these cakes are about 90% crab). Having nice chunks within the cooked cakes is a big plus.
  5. Form cakes and place on a tray. Refrigerate for two hours.
  6. Mix 1/2 cup each of fresh bread crumbs and flour. Coat crab cakes.
  7. Heat 4 tablespoons oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large pan. Add crab cakes to hot pan and saute for three minutes per side.
  8. Remove to paper towels and serve hot with your favorite remoulade or other sauce.
