- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Step 2
Place the crabmeat in a bowl and gently mix with the cracker crumbs.
Step 3
: Pour egg mixture over the crab and mix well taking care to keep the crab lumps
intact.
Step 4
Form the cakes with your hands about 3 inches in diameter and less than 1 inch in height. The cakes should not be packed too tightly, just enough to hold their shape.
Step 5
Place the cakes on a platter or tray lined with wax paper, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cooking.
Step 6
Put the oil or butter in a frying pan on medium-high just enough to have a slight sizzle and fry the cakes a few at a time until golden brown, about 4 mins per side. Remove with a slotted spatula and place on a paper towel.
Step 7
Serve at once with the tartar sauce and lemon and be sure to say something about how the Patriots will be wicked smaht this season.
