Add the crab, mayonnaise, lemon zest, Worcestershire, seafood seasoning, cayenne, scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix gently to combine. Add the egg and mix gently but thoroughly. Roll the mixture into about 15 golf ball-sized rounds, then arrange them on a foil-lined baking sheet and flatten them slightly. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to set.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the crab cakes, in batches if necessary, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and heated through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Arrange the crab cakes on a serving platter and serve with the mustard creme fraiche dolloped on top or in a small bowl on the side. Sprinkle with the chives and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly spray 24 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, stir together all ingredients. Scoop mixture evenly into muffin cups.

Steps:

• Fold together the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, parsley, chives, eggs, garlic, lemon zest and juice, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and several grinds of black pepper with a spatula in a large bowl until everything is well combined. (Do not over-stir or shred the crabmeat.) Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to hydrate.
• Using a 1/4-cup measure or 2-ounce ice cream scoop, scoop the crab mixture and roll into balls, transferring to a plate as you go.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering. Gently add half the meatballs and cook, turning with tongs, until brown all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining meatballs, adding up to 1 more tablespoon of oil as needed.
• Add the first batch of meatballs back to the pot and add the spicy tomato sauce and 1/2 cup water. Do not stir as it will break up the meatballs; instead, give the pot a shake so the sauce gets under the meatballs and they do not stick to the bottom. Bring to a strong simmer over medium-high heat, then lower to a gentle simmer and cook until the meatballs are heated through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky salt and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drizzle the olive oil into a 9 × 13-inch baking dish and use your hand to evenly coat the entire surface. Set aside.
• Combine the crabmeat, potato chips, mayonnaise, egg, bread crumbs, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand until thoroughly incorporated.
• Roll the mixture into round 3/4-inch balls, making sure to pack the mixture firmly. Place the balls in the prepared baking dish, being careful to line them up snugly and in even rows vertically and horizontally to form a grid. The balls should be touching one another.
• Roast for 10 minutes, or until the meatballs are firm and cooked through.
• Allow the meatballs to cool for 5 minutes in the baking dish before serving.

Steps:

• Place the garlic and the spring onions into the bowl of a food processor and blend until they become finely chopped.
• Add the crabmeat, wasabi, rice vinegar, tamari or soy sauce and the rice flour to the bowl. Blend the mixture again until it has combined to form a rough paste.
• In a large frying pan, add enough oil to fill the pan to a depth of 0.5cm/1/4 inches Heat the oil until a breadcrumb sizzles and turns golden-brown when added (CAUTION: Hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended).
• Roll teaspoonfuls of crab mixture into balls with your hands. Flatten the balls slightly and carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry the crabcakes until they turn golden-brown on both sides and are cooked through (only cook 8-10 crab cakes in the pan at one time so that they can be turned quickly and the oil temperature doesn't drop too much). Drain the crabcakes on paper towels.
• To serve place the crabcakes on a clean plate and place the lime segments around the plate.
