Sounds delicious! On my to cook list. I would use fresh crab cooked yourself and picked, prep time does not reflect this step. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Notes section.

Baking Sheet
Parchment Paper
- 500 grams crab meat, (1 lb)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup butter crackers, crushed, like Magic or Ritz
- 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, Shortcut
- 1 tablespoon Worcherstershire sauce
- butter, melted, for drizzling
Preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F), get out a baking sheet and line with parchment paper.
Place crab meat in a mixing bowl, remove any stray shell fragments. Add crushed crackers, Old Bay seasoning, and parsley, gently toss together.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, mustard, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Pour mixture over the crab meat and gently mix, careful not to break up large lumps of crab meat.
Shape into golf ball sized balls and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes. Drizzle with melted butter and allow to cool before serving.
I cannot price this until I make it in order to get the amount of crab needed. For now I will say fair value.
Shortcut: Old Bay Seasoning.
