Crab Bites Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, bread crumbs, green onions, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, black pepper, beaten egg, and lemon juice. Mix until everything is well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Bites

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small bite-sized balls or patties, about 1 inch in diameter.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Crab Bites

    Carefully place the crab bites in the hot oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. You may need to fry them in batches.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the crab bites from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
