I’ve seriously been into trying new dishes for dinner in 2013. It was definitely one of my New Year’s resolutions to sit down more often as a family. One of the dishes my hubby requested was Crab Cakes made from scratch. So I pulled out my mom’s old recipe and got to work!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb imitation crabmeat
- 1 1/4 cups breadcrumbs
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup parsley flakes
- dash of black pepper
- dash of salt
Break apart the crab meat into small pieces and place in a large bowl. Add rest of ingredients and mix well (I used a small hand mixer).
Form into hamburger size patties and coat in flour on both sides.
Fry both sides until golden brown in a large skillet on medium high.
Now it’s time to make the remoulade sauce!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup dill weed
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 3 tablespoons horseradish sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 4 tablespoons mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- dash of salt
- dash of pepper
Mix all together and serve at room temp. Delicious!
My whole family loves this recipe.
Ok… maybe we tell my 5 year old they’re called Chicken Cakes,
but as long as she eats them I’m happy!

Ooh you are going to be my new hero for this! I LOVE crabcakes with an unhealthy kind of devotion, but they’re always so expensive in the stores. Totally pinning this to try it!

Thanks for posting this recipe I will definitely have to try it. I absolutely love crab cakes. How many crab cakes does this recipe usually yield?

It made about 1 dozen extra large crab cakes, enough to feed 6 people! Trust me, 2 each was plenty 😉
