Crab Cakes

2 slices of bread, cut into very small bits  - I like artisan breads with good texture
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
several heaping Tbsp fresh chopped parsley
1 Tbsp finely chopped celery
2 Tbsp tarragon, chopped
1 tsp mustard - any kind but sweet
1 egg
1 Tbsp lemon juice
dash of Tabasco
2 tsp Old Bay seasoning

Mix together in a bowl and gently add

1 lb lump or jumbo lump crabmeat

Shape into 4 patties and pan saute in butter until golden brown, or broil for no more than 5 minutes on each side.
Serve with either cocktail sauce (make yourself by adding just enough horseradish to ketchup to suit your taste), or remoulade  (mayonnaise, mustard, very finely chopped onion, capers, and chopped parsley).

Don't forget to add lemon wedges.  Serve with rosemary garlic potatoes and steamed broccoli, or with potato salad and a green salad - or with any of your favorite side dishes.
Enjoy.  It's so easy.
