In a mixing bowl, beat the egg. Add the seafood, green onions, bell peppers, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir in parsley and enough bread crumbs to hold the mixture together. Form into 4 large patties. An empty tuna can with top and bottom removed makes a perfect mold to form patties. Dust with more bread crumbs.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Place the empty tuna can (both ends removed) in the skillet. Pack the crab cake mixture firmly. Leave the mold in place while you fry the first side. Remove mold and turn the patties over. Fry the patties until browned on each side and cooked through - about 10 minutes total.
Serve with a mild tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
