How do i make crabby patties like sponge bob square pants?
Answers:
Crabby Patties
1 pound surimi, flaked
1/4 cup finely minced scallions
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs - plus 1 cup more for breading the patties
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning (optional)
dash of Tabasco or other hot sauce (optional)
Vegetable oil for frying
Place 1 cup bread crumbs in a shallow dish.
Stir together the surimi, scallions, mayonnaise, egg, 2 tablespoons of dry bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Old Bay Seasoning and Tabasco.
Shape the crab mixture into 6 patties. Coat each of the patties with bread crumbs.
Fill a small, heavy skillet to about 1/4 inch with vegetable oil. Place over medium-high heat until the oil is hot. (If it smokes, it's too hot.)
Fry the patties until they are golden and cooked through, about 2 1/2 minutes on each side. Drain the patties on paper towels.
Serve the Crabby Patties on buns with King Neptune Sauce and lettuce, tomato, thinly sliced onion rings and pickles, if desired.
King Neptune Sauce
2/3 cups mayonnaise
2 tablespoons deli-style mustard
3 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
dash hot sauce
Place all of the ingredients in a small, non-reactive bowl and blend them thoroughly. If you're not using the sauce right away, refrigerate it.
ANOTHER OPTION:
Double Salmon Burgers
Ingredients
1 pound boned, skinned salmon fillet
6 tablespoons fat-skimmed chicken broth or vegetable broth
1/4 cup fine dried bread crumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
Vegetable or olive oil
4 soft potato rolls or English muffins (4 in. wide), cut in half horizontally
4 to 6 tablespoons smoked salmon cream cheese spread
Butter lettuce leaves, rinsed and crisped
Cucumber-hearts of palm relish (see below)
Preparation
1. Rinse salmon and pat dry; cut into 1/2-inch chunks. Pulse several times in a food processor to coarsely grind, scraping down container sides once or twice between pulses. In a bowl with a fork, mix ground salmon with broth, bread crumbs, dill, salt, and egg until mixture is thoroughly blended.
2. Make four foil strips 5 to 6 inches wide by 10 inches long. Fold each strip to form 5- to 6-inch squares, then fold in edges to seal layers. Coat one side of each foil square with vegetable oil. Divide salmon mixture into four equal portions, place a portion on oiled side of each foil square, and shape each into an evenly thick 4-inch-wide round. If making ahead, lay patties (on foil) in a single layer on a plate, cover airtight, and chill up to 1 day.
3. Place salmon patties on foil on a barbecue grill over a solid bed of medium coals or medium heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand at grill level only 4 to 5 seconds); cover barbecue and open vents. Cook patties until firm when pressed and pale pink in the center (cut to test), about 10 minutes. When patties are almost done, lay rolls, cut side down, on grill and toast until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Spread the toasted side of each bun half with smoked salmon cream cheese. Layer bottom of each bun with lettuce and a salmon patty; top with cucumber-hearts of palm relish and set bun tops in place.
Cucumber-hearts of palm relish: In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup diced (1/4 in.) seeded English cucumber, 1/2 cup thinly sliced canned hearts of palm, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (including green tops), 2 teaspoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste). Mix and let stand at least 5 minutes or cover and chill up to 1 day. Serve with a slotted spoon. Makes about 1 cup.

Yes, one recipe uses Salmon - but My kids loved them better than the ones made with crab meat.
A simple version - use 1 can salmon and 1/2 package of crushed Ritz crackers and 1 egg - crush all together - and make patties - pan fry.
