Instructions
- Prepare the mixture:In a large bowl, gently combine crab meat, flaked fish, red pepper, green onion, celery, parsley, Dijon, Worcestershire, egg, mayo, lemon juice, and 3/4 cup of Chef Robert’s Gourmet Breading Mix. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Don’t overmix—keep the texture chunky.
- Form cakes:Divide mixture into 6–8 portions. Shape each into a patty about 1 inch thick. Lightly press each side into additional Chef Robert’s Breading Mix to coat.
- Chill (optional but recommended):Place patties on a plate, cover, and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to help them hold their shape.
- Cook:Heat 2–3 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry the cakes for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Drain & serve:Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or a spicy aioli.
- Serving Suggestions:Pair with a simple arugula salad or coleslaw.Serve on a toasted bun for a crab cake sandwich.Top with poached egg for a breakfast twist.
