Notes

Use fresh lump crab meat for the best flavor and texture. Don’t overmix the crab mixture, or the cakes may become tough. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more panko bread crumbs to help it hold together. Fry the crab cakes in batches to avoid crowding the pan, which helps them cook evenly.
