Accompaniment

Description

These crab patties have an honest crab flavour that isn't spoilt by fillers or strong seasonings.

Method

Mix the crab, egg, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, mustard, lemon juice, celery seed, onion powder, pepper, and Tabasco sauce in a large bowl.
Form into six burgers, once again, we use the burger press from Lakeland.
Heat the oil and butter in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat until the butter stops foaming. Cook the burgers until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
Serve and Enjoy!

Chef's Tips

This recipe works best with fresh white crabmeat but we have used frozen crabmeat.
Fresh homemade breadcrumbs are a better rougher texture than bought dried breadcrumbs. They make a crispy crust and are not as prone to become as soggy as finely ground breadcrumbs.
