Recipe by: The Maryland Seafood Cookbook.

Remove all cartilage from Crabmeat. In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, egg(s), mayonnaise and seasonings. Add Crabmeat and mix gently but thoroughly. If mixture is too dry add a little more mayonnaise. Shape into six cakes. Cook cakes in fry pan, in just enough fat to prevent sticking, until browned; about 5 minutes on each side.

NOTE: If desired, crab cakes may be deep fried at 350 degrees, two to three minutes, or until browned.
