PROCESS:
Pick through the crabmeat to remove any shell fragments. Place crabmeat a medium-sized bowl. (reserve). In another bowl, mix mayo, eggs, lemon and Worcestershire. Pour mayo mixture over crabmeat, add remaining ingredients and mix gently. Don't shred the crabmeat... Be careful to leave some nice crabmeat chunks. Form crab mixture into 8 equal crab cakes. Dredge in flour and saute in butter until golden brown and gorgeous on both sides. Place on paper towels to drain. Serve with Zesty Mustard Sauce.
