--------  ------------  --------------------------------

   1      pound         crab meat

   2      teaspoons     mustard, wet

   2      teaspoons     mayonnaise

   1      tablespoon    Worcestershire sauce

                        parsley -- chopped fine

Check crab meat for bits of shell. Combine ingredients and form patties about 3" in diameter; coat with extra bread or cracker crumbs if desired. Fry over medium high heat until golden brown; DO NOT OVERCOOK.

Crab cakes may be baked at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, but only if absolutely necessary.

NOTES : Eastern Shore expatriates sometimes dream about crab cakes, crunchy outside, rich and sweet inside.
