Maryland Crab Cakes

I was going through my freezer when I came across the last of the frozen king crab that I had gotten a while ago. It was good because there were still a lot of recipes with crab on my to try list. The recipe that caught my attention was a Maryland crab cake recipe. The crab cake recipe almost sounded like a burger recipe with crab meat, bread crumbs, milk, eggs and seasonings. With the seasonings being mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce and mustard they sounded really good. I used panko bread crumbs they were all that I had on hand. The crab cakes came together pretty easily. I read that the cakes might not hold together too well while frying and that you could chill the crab mixture in the fridge ahead of time and they would hold up better. I was a little hungry and skipped the chilling step and my cakes held together just fine. The Maryland crab cakes were really tasty! They were nice and crispy on the outside and soft and moist and tender on the inside. They were so tasty that they did not need any condiments.
