Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality crab meat for the best flavor. Fresh crab meat should have a sweet and delicate taste, with no fishy odor.
- If you're using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using. Thawed crab meat should be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days before using.
- Panko breadcrumbs help to keep the crab balls crispy and golden brown. You can also use regular breadcrumbs, but panko breadcrumbs will give the crab balls a lighter and airier texture.
- Old Bay seasoning is a classic seafood seasoning that adds a delicious flavor to the crab balls. You can also use other seafood seasonings, such as Creole seasoning or Cajun seasoning.
- Gently mix the crab meat and other ingredients together. Overmixing can make the crab balls tough.
- Form the crab balls into 1-inch balls. If the crab balls are too large, they will take longer to cook and may not cook evenly.
- Chill the crab balls for at least 30 minutes before frying. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
- Fry the crab balls in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. The crab balls should be cooked through, but not overcooked.
- Serve the crab balls hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
