Lassie Comegys
Makes 8 crab cakes
1 lb back fin crab meat (special)
6-8 saltines, crushed
1 Tbsp Worchestershire Sauce
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 egg
2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
Crush saltine until fine, add all seasonings, and egg. Mix well. Gently add picked (and repacked) crab meat. Form into cakes and place on cookie sheet. Place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Perheat oven to 450o . Bake until golden brown (about 15 minutes). Crab cakes may be frozen after cooking. Thaw, cover with plastic wrap, and heat in microwave about 1 ½ minutes. Good Luck!
Note: Crabs were always a favorite for dinner especially when the Comegys and the Jarrells gathered for a meal. Aunt Lassie and Uncle Dick moved from Clayton to Oxford, MD in the late 1960s--I think 1969. for some, me in particular, Clayton was never the same after they moved to Oxford.
Oxford allowed them to get away from the demanding patients in Clayton and Smyrna who loved them, but still thought they should be on call 24/7. They enjoyed almost 20 years of sailing and living in Oxford where they immediately became treasured community members. Aunt Lassie collected more good recipes in Oxford. I think this was one of them.
