Method

Step 1 of 4

Rinse and pick over the crabmeat, removing any pieces of shell, then drain well. In a bowl, mix together the crab, egg, crackers, lemon juice and zest, and season to taste. Add the shallot and garlic, and mix well.

Step 2 of 4

Take a quarter of the mixture and form a cake 7.5cm in diameter and set aside on a plate. Repeat to make 3 more cakes.

Step 3 of 4

Pour the oil into a large, heavy-based frying pan to a depth of at least 2.5 cm. Heat the oil to 190ºC, and fry the cakes for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until golden.

Step 4 of 4

Meanwhile, make the aïoli. Mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, spring onions, and garlic in a bowl. Season to taste. Serve the crab cakes hot with the aïoli and a squeeze of lemon.
