Crab Balls

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, cream cheese, green onions, garlic, Old Bay seasoning, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Balls

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill the Crab Balls

    Refrigerate the crab balls for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during frying.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry the Crab Balls

    Carefully add the crab balls to the hot oil in batches, frying until they are golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the crab balls warm, with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as cocktail sauce or a spicy aioli.
