Aunt Ruth's Crab Cakes

1. Stir together crushed crackers and water in a large bowl. Let stand until softened, about 1 minute. Fold in crabmeat, egg, mayonnaise, and mustard. Add seafood seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; stir gently until evenly mixed. Form crab mixture into 3/4-inch-thick patties and place on a tray.

2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

3. Cook patties in hot oil until golden brown and hot in the center, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
