Procedure
- For crab cakes: Heat 1 inch of canola oil in an 11-inch straight-sided sauté pan fitted with a deep-fry thermometer.
- Combine the crabmeat, mayonnaise, pepper, lemon juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and half of the panko breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Form into equal sized cakes. Place the remaining panko breadcrumbs in a pie plate and coat the cakes evenly. When the oil reaches 375ºF, pan-fry the cakes until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side. Drain the finished cakes on a wire rack set over a half-sheet pan lined with paper towels.
