Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
3 slc of good bread
1 lrg stick of celery
1/4 x a medium sized sweet onion
1 lb package of imitation crab meat
1 x 6-oz. can drained crabmeat
1 x 4-oz can of mild chopped green chiles
2 lrg eggs
Dill weed
1 tbl sugar
Salt and pepper
2 x or 3 shakes of Tabasco or Cajun Sunshine.
Instructions:
Instructions: In the food processor, crumb the bread slices. Then mix all ingredients well and add enough mayonnaise to hold the mixture together. Sorry I dont have a measurement but I do it in increments. Add a scoop of mayo, mix it in and then usually at least one more. Too much and you cant make patties. Then make a patty, press into any commercial seasoned breadcrumbs, coat well and fry in about 1/4 inch of hot peanut oil. They are kind of fragile so they need gentle handling.

If you try to turn them and they bend, dont, flip them until youre sure they are crispy and golden on the bottom, then they will turn easily. Fry over medium heat until they are golden on both sides and hold together. Drain on paper towels and serve with fresh lemon wedges. They really are amazingly good. Dont leave out the sugar, its important. People always ask me about it. I had a German grandmother who believed that there was very little that a spoon of sugar would not improve the flavor of. Mostly, she was right. (Arcamaxchef note: Arent Grandmothers always right?)

Chefs Notes: Use your favorite egg substitute.
