Crab Cake help
Last night I cleaned two crabs. picked them clean. tada! then today I am making crab cakes never have before. I am using Paula Deens recipe with a couple changes. One on purpose one oh heck.. I switched out bell peppers for celery minced as the DH hates bell peppers. I then made them now am chilling them to firm a bit before frying. Sit down.. realize.. I forgot to add dry mustard or wet mustard (her son uses wet mustard). Ok will they be ruined totally? should I smush themup add mustard and re set them in the fridge? I sure hope they will be eatable without it. argh. I dont eat crab. I cant even sample one to say oh hey this is good. or not enough salt or too salty.. so what do you think I should do? and btw am i to serve them with cocktail sauce, tartar sauce or a hot red sauce? clueless again. Give me a nice Maine Lobster any day of the year.
Please help somebody! somebody!!!

thanks he went for tartar sauce. i love my lobster and shrimp with garlic butter but he preferred mayo tartar and well he ate them said they were good. I froze the other 12 of them. guess you can cook them one at a time that way we will find out.

if you really want the mustard then make a mustard cream sauce. i had some wonderful Brown Mustard Cream Sauce over Pork Tenderloin when i was in France last month. It was wonderful: dijon mustard, heavy cream, salt, pepper and a bit of white wine, thickened.

I'm from Maryland and we're known for our crab cakes. Here's my recipe.
1 lb. of crab meat
1/4 teas. dry mustard
1 egg
6 saltine crackers, crushed
2 Tablspooms of mayo
parsley
dash of Old Bay seafood seasoning
Mix all together and make into cakes. Fry on medium heat about 2-4 minutes per side or until nice and brown.
We eat ours plain.
