1. Combine the salmon, mayonnaise, lemon juice, egg, green onions, Worcestershire sauce and Old Bay in a mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add about half of the crushed cracker crumbs. Stir to combine. Form the mixture into patties. 
2. Put the remaining cracker crumbs onto a plate. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
