Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh crab meat (or canned if needed)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crispiness)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying

  • Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, green onions, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  • Using your hands, scoop out about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used up. You should have around 20–25 crab balls.
  • Roll each crab ball in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.
  • In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the crab balls in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Serve your crispy crab balls hot with a side of tartar sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
