1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 large egg
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon of dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Chesapeake Spices, Old Bay could be substituted
1 tablespoon of lemon Juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 pound lump crabmeat, check for any shells without breaking up the lump meat
1 slice dried white bread broken into small pieces
1/4 cup vegetable oil

In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the egg, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and Chesapeake spices

Add lemon juice and zest. In a medium bowl light toss the crabmeat with the bread pieces. Gently, without damaging the lump crab meat, fold the mayonnaise mixture into the crabmeat. Cover and refrigerate for one hour or until mixture is firm.
