Method
1. Prepare the crab base
In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, lemon juice, eggs, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, Old Bay, and parsley.
Using a light hand, gently fold until just combined, taking care to preserve the integrity of the crab. Do not add the garlic butter to this mixture.
2. Shape the patties
Using a 1-cup measuring cup, gently pack the crab mixture. Turn out and softly shape into a round patty. Repeat to form 8 patties.
3. Pan-sear
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with approximately 3 capfuls of vegetable oil.
Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side, or until beautifully golden and warmed through. Transfer to a plate and rest briefly.
4. Toast the buns
In a clean skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of garlic butter over medium heat.
Toast the cut sides of 2 buns until lightly golden. Repeat with remaining butter and buns.
