Heat oil in skillet and saute crab meat, onion, garlic, bell pepper. Add lemon. Add salt and pepper and old bay to taste. Cook 5-6 minutes or until white and opaque and cooked through.
Place in a large bowl and let cool for about 10 minute. After it's cooled, crack egg onto it and mix bread crumbs into crab mixture. It should be wet and able to shape into a patty. Shape into patties, put on cookie sheet and freeze for about 20-30 minutes.
Melt butter. put enough oil in skillet to cover bottom of pan. Take patties from the freezer and fry.

Very Good! We exchanged Jalapeno peppers for the Bell pepper.It gave a lil kick. Also The directions did not specify what to do with the 1/4 cup of melted butter, so we basted the cakes prior to frying. The were terrific. We will deffinatly make these again
