      1/2  cup           celery finely chopped
      3/4  stick         unsalted butter (6 Tablespoons)
    1      lb            jumbo lump crab meat picked over
      1/3  cup           fine dry bread crumbs
      1/2  cup           mayonnaise
      1/2  tsp           Old Bay seasoning
      1/2  tsp           Worcestershire sauce
                         Tabasco sauce (few drops)
    2      Tbsps         fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves minced
                         salt and pepper to taste
 
                         ACCOMPANIMENTS
                         lemon wedges
 
      In a skillet cook onion and celery in 4 tablespoons butter over
 moderately low heat, stirring, until tender and transfer to a bowl.  Stir
 in crab and bread crumbs.  In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, Old
 Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, parsley and salt and pepper
 to taste and stir into crab mixture until combined well.
      Line a baking sheet with wax paper.  Form crab mixture into 6
 flattened rounds, each about 3 inches wide and 3/4 inch thick, and
 transfer to baking sheet.  Chill crab cakes, covered with plastic wrap,
 at least 1 hour and up to 4.
      In a heavy skillet heat 1 tablespoon butter over moderate heat until
 foam subsides and cook half of crab cakes until golden brown, about 2 to
 3 minutes on each side.  Cook remaining crab cakes in remaining
 tablespoon butter in same manner.
      Serve crab cakes warm with lemon wedges.  Makes 6 crab cakes,
 serving 3 as a main course or 6 as a first course.
