1/2 cup bread crumbs

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 egg, beaten

1 Tablespoon chopped parsley

1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 Tablespoons (generous) Hellman’smayonnaise

paprika (a bit)

Instructions:

Mix egg, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, mustard, mayo, and spices in bowl. Add crab meat (after sorting for shell but avoiding break-up of lumps), then bread crumbs. Mix gently with fork. The mixture is quite damp, but cakes are formable.

Refrigerate a while. Heat oil (3/4 inch deep) in skillet until water droplets spatter. Fry until golden brown on one side (about 2 minutes); turn and fry another 2 minutes. Drain well on paper towels.
