Steps:

• In a large bowl, add zucchini, eggs, breadcrumbs, Old Bay, black pepper, mayonnaise and parsley. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
• Scoop out 1/3 cup (packed) of zucchini batter. Press the zucchini firmly into the cup. You want to make sure you really compact the zucchini batter so that the cakes don't fall apart. Flip the measuring cup upside down to release the zucchini cake onto a sheet of parchment paper. The zucchini should slide out still holding its form from the cup. Repeat with remaining zucchini batter.
• In a medium skillet, add oil and bring to medium high heat. Depending on the size of your pan you may need more oil. You need a little more than 1/4 inch of oil so that the oil reaches the halfway point on the zucchini cakes during cooking. Gently slide a few of the crab cakes into the hot oil and cook a few minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy on both sides. Place cooked crab cakes onto a paper towel to soak up some of the excess oil. Repeat until all crab cakes are cooked. Serve crab cakes while they are still warm, with tartar sauce and fresh lemon juice.

ZUCCHINI CRAB CAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE

Steps:

• Grate zucchini and squeeze dry.
• Melt butter over medium heat and add onion and bell pepper. Cook for 5 - 10 minutes.
• Remove onion and bell pepper from heat and set aside.
• In a large bowl combine zucchini, cream cheese, Old bay seasoning, egg and bread crumbs.
• Mix in the onions and bell pepper including any butter from the pan.
• At this point if you feel your mix is too wet you can add a little more bread crumbs, do not add too much because it will reflect in the flavor of the cakes.
• Place the entire mixture in the refrigerator for a couple of hours if you have the time. This allows the mixture to bind and it makes it easier to handle the patties. If you do not have the time, do not worry, just coat your hands in flour when making the patties.
• Once you are ready to make the patties just grab a glob (1/3 C) shape into a ball, dredge in flour or bread crumbs (that is entirely up to you) and then fry in about an inch of oil, flattening them with your spatula, until golden brown.
