Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Claws

    Rinse the crab claws under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

    Make the Breading

    In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Frying

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 4

    Bread the Crab Claws

    Dredge each crab claw in the breading mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
