DIRECTIONS
- Combine crabmeat, breadcrumbs, mustard, hot sauce, bell pepper, scallions, celery and egg in a large bowl.
- Add just enough mayonnaise to hold the ingredients together, being careful not to make it so moist that the mixture will fall apart.
- Divide into 8 patties.
- Coat with additional bread crumbs, then fry, four at a time, in hot oil until crispy and brown on all sides.
- ***Patties can be made ahead of time and frozen- they freeze very well.
