1
Prepare the Crab Claws
Rinse the crab claws under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
2
Make the Breading
In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4
Bread the Crab Claws
Dredge each crab claw in the breading mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
5
Fry the Crab Claws
Carefully place the breaded crab claws in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried crab claws from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
