Method
step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onion, pepper and celery with a pinch of salt until soft. Cool completely. Mix this with the crab, breadcrumbs, egg, mustard, spices and pepper and form into 6 cakes. Put in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up. Mix the mayonnaise and hot sauce.
step 2
Heat the grill to medium and lightly oil a baking tray. Dip the cakes in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess, then the egg, and then the tortilla chips, pressing the pieces on, to coat.
step 3
Put on the tray and grill for about 10 minutes, turning over halfway. Serve with the mayo and salad.
