Need a good Crab Cake recipe ...

Looking for a good recipe that doesn't use a lot of filler and other bullsh!t, and just lets the crab shine.
I looked in the TD Recipe Book, and was surprised to see there wasn't a single crab cake recipe.

Phenomenal recipe. Their crabcakes are the best I've ever had.

I don't use a recipe, per se, more of just a general guideline:
--finely chopped celery, bell pepper, onion, garlic, parsley sauteed in ample butter until soft. If you saved any crab fat, stir it in at the end. Season w/lemon juice, Old Bay if you like (or a drop of liquid crab boil if you prefer it); I sometimes add a little dry mustard or some whole grain mustard and a fat pinch of cayenne to the aromatics after they're sauteed. White pepper is good, too.
--fold in the picked crab meat and enough cracker meal (or smashed unsalted saltine crackers) to bind the mixture. You don't want too much--just enough so that it will stick together a bit. Form into patties and chill.
--if you like lots of crust, you can dip in egg wash & coat outsides in cracker crumbs, then cook over med heat in butter (clarified, if you've got it) or EVOO.

I like prepping things meticulously, so this one is great...we overload the crab though. ina-garten crab-cakes-recipe-
Her celery root remoulade is yummy too. LINK

These are really good and they come together quite well.
A bit more tricky, and I think a bit better, are those that use a bechemel sauce binder ala Charley G's out of Lafayette. Here's their recipe. LINK
They are harder to keep together while cooking than a recipe like Ina's and hers are certainly good if that's a concern.

Best pure crab cakes I've had anywhere in the country were at Le Creole on Highland.
