This recipe is very versatile. You may use salmon,mackerel, or tuna. You can just about add anything to this recipe to change it up make your own! :) after all I basically just used what I had on hand already and they turned out great! Yum!

Steps

1

Add crab meat, onions and jalapeños to a mixing bowl. Season with old bay seasoning to taste. Add 1 and 1/2 cups of bread crumbs to crabmeat mixture.
2

Now Add mayo and slowly mix with a fork until mixture is thoroughly moist. If it seems a little too dry you can always add about a teaspoon or so. You want it to be a little firm so the crab cakes won't fall apart while frying. Form mixture into balls and let set in the refrigerator for at least 30 mins.
3

Add the remaining bread crumbs to a plate. Set aside. Pour oil in skillet and set range eye to medium heat. Roll each crabmeat ball in the breadcrumbs. Make sure they're coated evenly.
4

Place crabmeat ball in between your hands and press lightly enough to form patties. Add to skillet. Cook patties on each side for about 6 minutes or so or until golden brown on each side.
5

Drain on paper towels
6

Serve with a salad and remoulade
