Ingredients

Crab Cake Balls

Preparation

Preparation and Cooking

1. Make the Crab Cake Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, green onion, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

2. Form the Balls

Take a small amount of the crab mixture and form it into a ball, about the size of a golf ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

3. Heat the Oil

In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

4. Fry the Crab Cake Balls

Carefully drop the crab cake balls into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. Serve

Serve the fried crab cake balls hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
