2. In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat, the remaining 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs, the scallions, parsley, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Shape the crab mixture into eight patties. Coat the patties with the remaining 3/4 cup bread crumbs and pat off the excess.

3. In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Working in batches if necessary, fry the cakes until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn and fry until golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes longer. Drain on paper towels. Serve with the horseradish cream.

Notes Fish Alternatives There's really no substitute for sweet fresh crabmeat-but for a completely different taste, you could use one pound of cod, cooked and flaked.

A full-bodied white such as a Chardonnay from California will be delightful with the crab. Try to find one that isn't too oaky-just full of the taste of ripe fruit.
