How to Make Rebecca's Favorite Crab Cakes

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine the crab meat, crab-flavored fish chunks, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, egg, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, and salt and pepper. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the crab cakes tough.
  2. Form the mixture into 1/2 cup patties. You should get about 6-8 crab cakes depending on the size.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. Reduce heat if the cakes brown too quickly.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite sides like lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or a fresh salad.
