Ingredients

  • ½ (4 ounce) packet saltine crackers, crushed
  • 1 medium bell pepper, minced
  • 2 stalks green onions, white parts only, minced
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, or more to taste
  • 2 pounds cooked blue crabmeat, drained
  • 2 tablespoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs, or more as needed
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil, or more as needed

Directions

Step 1
Mix crushed crackers, bell pepper, green onions, egg, mayonnaise, and Dijon together in a large bowl. Gently fold in crabmeat, seafood seasoning, and black pepper using a wooden spoon or spatula. Form crabmeat mixture into 1/2-inch-thick patties, 2 to 3 inches in diameter.

Step 2
Put bread crumbs on a plate. Coat patties with bread crumbs.

Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties in batches and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining patties, adding more oil as needed.

Cook’s Note:

To crush the saltine crackers, put a half-sleeve of crackers in a zip-top plastic bag, seal, and crush with a rolling pin.
