How to Make Maryland Pavilion Crab Cakes

  1. Gently flake the jumbo lump crab meat, removing any cartilage.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flaked crab meat, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, egg, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Form the mixture into 4-6 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Melt the butter and vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as lemon wedges, remoulade sauce, or a fresh salad.
