Fritters Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Fritter Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, all-purpose flour, chopped green onions, eggs, milk, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined and a thick batter forms.

  2. 2

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry Fritters

    Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Chipotle Mayo Preparation

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients
