Yield Makes about 20 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 garlic cloves
8 ounces skinless sea bass or halibut fillets, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 egg white
1 tablespoon fish sauce (nam pla)*
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce*
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon oriental sesame oil
8 ounces crabmeat, drained
8 ounces cooked shrimp, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Butter lettuce leaves
Chili-Lime Sauce

Steps:

  • With machine running, drop garlic cloves through feed tube of processor and chop finely. Add sea bass and next 8 ingredients and process just until blended. Transfer to large bowl; stir in crabmeat, shrimp, cilantro and red bell pepper.
  • Pour enough oil into heavy large skillet to reach depth of 1 inch; heat oil over medium-high heat to 350°F. Working in batches, drop rounded tablespoonfuls of fritter mixture into hot oil. Fry fritters until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer cooked fritters to paper-towel-lined plate; drain.
  • Arrange fritters on platter with lettuce leaves. Serve with Chili-Lime Sauce.

I didn't like these fritters at all. The flavors were not to my taste and the texture was not good.

The fritters were too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more spices.

These fritters were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less oil.

I had a hard time finding fresh shrimp and crab, so I used frozen instead. The fritters still turned out good, but I think they would have been even better with fresh seafood.

These fritters were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. The shrimp and crab were cooked perfectly and the flavors were great.
