Stephen Connell, United States.
Sounds good, recipe calls for 2 pounds of flaked crab meat, I am going to try this with imitation crab as well and will post my findings using this.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kilo crab meat, I will verify when I use imitation, (2 lb)
  • 2½ cups fine breadcrumbs
  • ⅔ cup mayo
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons lemon or lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ⅛ teaspoon Creole seasoning
  • ⅛ teaspoon chili powder, just a pinch really
  • all purpose flour, as needed for frying
  • cooking oil, your preference, for frying

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, add everything, and time to get your hands dirty, reach in there and mix everything together well.
  • Form into 4 oz (115 gram) patties. (shape into balls then flatten).
  • Heat a non stick pan with about ½ to 1 inch of cooking oil in it. When hot, flip each patty in flour to coat, and place in the hot pan, cook, flipping once, until golden brown on each side, enjoy.

Notes

I will have to price imitation and fresh crab for this recipe, for now I will say Fair value.
