Ingredients for Crab Fritters
- 1 pound fresh lump crab meat
- 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions for Crab Fritters
- In a large bowl, gently combine the fresh crab meat, green onions, flour, eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and Old Bay seasoning.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Be careful not to break the crab meat too much, as you want to maintain those lovely chunks.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough to fry but not smoking.
- Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the crab mixture into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, transfer the crab fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
