Directions:In a large mixing bowl combine the eggs, celery, saltines, mustard, Old Bay Seasoning, pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, scallions, salt and pepper, and blend well. Add the crab meat, folding it in lightly without breaking it up.
Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions. Shape them into hamburger-like patties. Dredge them lightly in the bread crumbs.
Heat approximately 2 tbsp. of the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Saute the crab cakes 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown, using the remaining 2 tbsp. oil if necessary. Drain on paper towels immediately. |

Notes: Serve with remoulade sauce (see "Sauces").
Crab meat will freeze well if coated with mayonnaise. Otherwise, it can dry out or get freezer burn. This tip is from the wonderful, Mrs. Milt of the famous, "Milt's Seafood" on Bolivar Peninsula across the bay from Galveston.
