Two cans lump crab meat (or fresh, or substitute 2 packages imitation crab meat).
Two tablespoons Hellman's or a good mayo like Dukes.
Two dozen large garlic crouton's... roll over them w/a rolling pin while they are in the bag.
Saute onions of your choice, I used Vidalia , additions are green and red peppers or celery.
1 egg whisked
Old Bay Seasoning
Italian Parsley or a little Basil
Two or three turns of fresh cracked pepper.
Juice of a fresh lemon.
4 tablespoons breadcrumbs
M ix in all dry items, tossing with a fork.
Add mayo, lemon juice and whisked egg.

Gently form the mixture into patties and lay the patties into hot oil in a seasoned cast iron skillet. Cook about 3 minute per side. Turn only once as the patties are delicate.
