Combine all ingredients except the flour and canola oil in a large bowl and mix well.
Shape the mixture into 7 crab cakes and set on a plate.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
Heat the canola oil in a large 12-inch skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat. Dredge each crab cake with flour to lightly coat both sides.
Add the cakes to the skillet and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
