THE BEST CRAB CAKES

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.

THE ITALIAN SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large frying pan and add the potato. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
• Remove sausage casings and crumble meat into the pan. Cook, stirring, until lightly browned.
• Add onion and peppers. Cook until onion is softened and potatoes are done.
• Beat eggs, milk and oregano together.
• Add egg mixture, tomato and mozzarella all at once.
• Reduce heat and cook, stirring lightly, until eggs are soft and fluffy.
• Top with grated cheese and parsley.

OVEN-ROASTED CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Sort through crab and discard any bits of shell. Press out moisture with paper towels.
• In a large bowl, combine celery, minced chives, mayonnaise, egg, mustard, and Old Bay; mix well with a fork.
• Add crab and 1/4 cup panko; stir gently just to mix.
• Put in fridge for 1/2 an hour or more if time permits.
• Put remaining panko in a shallow bowl.
• Shape crab mixture into about 6 cakes about a 1/2 inch thick.
• Place each cake in panko to coat on each side - place on baking stone or dish and reform into shape. Should be sort of flat across - about a 1/2 inch thick - and formed around the edges.
• Bake in a 475°F regular or convection oven until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
• With a spatula, transfer crab cakes to a platter. Add any sauce you want - but they turned out great without any sauce.

WALLEYE CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Mix all, form into small patties(smaller for appetizers/larger for entree), roll in crumbs, put on a well greased cookie sheet. Bake in oven on top rack at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, flipping once, until golden on both sides.
• Alternative: Instead of baking, I have also greased a pan and browned the cakes on the top of the stove. Medium heat. Just cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
• Serve immediately with lemon dill sauce on the side.

BALTIMORE-STYLE CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Finely crush the saltine crackers in your hands and place in a large bowl. Add the crabmeat, reserving any crab juice in a separate small bowl.
• To the bowl with the crab juice, add the mayonnaise egg, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce; whisk until smooth. Season with black pepper.
• Gently fold the mayonnaise mixture into the crab and saltines. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Scoop the crab mixture into six patties, about 1 1/2-inches thick. Be careful not to handle the mixture too much.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over moderately high heat until shimmering. Add the crab cakes and cook until deeply golden and heated through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the crab cakes to plates and serve with lemon wedges.
