Crab Cakes

For the first of the 5 days of crab I start with crab cakes. This is an obvious choice, but a good one.

-use 1/4 of a pound of crab meat (run water over the crab before cooking)
-about 1/2 of a roll of Ritz type crackers and crumpled them up
-a spoonful of mayonnaise
-little bit of green onion, mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper
-put it all together and shaped it like you would a hamburger patty
-dip it in a beat egg and cover it with flour and place it in a skillet with vegetable oil in it over medium heat
-fry it for 4 minutes on each side

Sauce: spoonful of sour cream, some garlic powder, onion salt, Tony's, and chives.
You can dip it in the sauce or put the sauce on a kaiser roll and make a sandwich.
