Crab Cakes

1 lb. back fin (lump) crab meat
2 eggs, beaten
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Dash of Tabasco, or to taste
2 tsp. mustard
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
1/2 stack (sleeve) Ritz crackers, crumbled fine or 1/2 to 1 cup soft bread crumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Mix all ingredients gently and form into cakes.  Roll in flour or panko,  fry in butter until done. Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.  They also make delicious sandwiches.

One summer we went to visit Donald's sister, Eileen Seglem, and her family in Maryland.  At the end of the visit on a Saturday, we left for Florida.  Eileen's husband, Walt, is a hard person to fool, and Eileen and their girls had been planning a surprise sailing trip for Walt's birthday.  His birthday is not until November so he was really surprised.  As part of the surprise, when we left that Saturday we doubled back and met them at the boat in Annapolis, Maryland.  We all sailed on Chesapeake Bay until late afternoon and then the Captain docked the boat at a restaurant that specializes in Maryland crab cakes.  This recipe tastes a lot like those crab cakes and is included in memory of a very special day.
