Preparation Instructions

1. Prepare the Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the lump crab meat, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, and chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Form the Balls

With clean hands, take small portions of the crab mixture and form them into balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a tray or plate.

3. Heat the Oil

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Make sure there's enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.

4. Fry the Crab Balls

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the crab balls in the skillet. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.

5. Drain and Serve

Once cooked, remove the crab balls from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
