Recipe: Mike's Maine Crab Cakes (A1 Diner, Gardiner, Maine)

Main Dishes - Fish, Shellfish
MIKE'S MAINE CRAB CAKES
(A1 Diner, Gardiner, Maine)

"These are loaded with crab, and even in a state that is famous for this dish, people come to Gardiner to track them down."

1 1/2 pounds fresh crabmeat, picked over for shells
1 1/2 cups fresh corn (or frozen corn, thawed)
3/4 cup diced red bell pepper
3/4 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 1/2 cups saltine cracker crumbs, divided use
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed

Mix the crabmeat, corn, bell pepper, celery, onion, mayonnaise, and mustard in a medium bowl. Season with the salt and pepper. Gently fold in the beaten egg and 1 1/2 cups of the cracker crumbs, taking care not to overwork the mixture.

Place the remaining 1 cup crumbs on a plate or in a shallow dish.

Form the crab mixture into 3-ounce patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Coat the cakes with the cracker crumbs, on both sides, by placing each cake in the dish of crumbs and pressing gently.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter, and cook the crab cakes until golden brown, about 6 minutes per side. Serve.

Make 16 (3-ounce) crab cakes
