insane crab balls

[themadgaffler]

ok guys and gals here it is and im not kidding when i say its the best. this recipe cost me a pound of flesh and my wife would kill me if she knew that i gave it out, so if u know me dont let the cat outta the bag!

insane crab balls -

a pound of lump/backfin - no canned crap!
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp red pepper
a little lemon juice fresh
4 tbs mayo

mix all above and roll into balls (a tad larger than golf)

beat a few eggs in a bowl
crush some regular lays potato chips
roll the balls in beaten eggs and then in the smashed chips
refrigerate a few hours
break out the deep fryer (must be entirely submerged) and heat up peanut oil and fry til lightly browned (too dark will dry em out)

remoulade for dipping


1 cup mayo
3 tbs ketchup
2 tsp worcestershire
1 tsp tabasco
4 tbs horsereadish
1 finely chopped onion
lemon juice (fresh)

mix it all up

most amounts are approximate - i just eyeball it. this stuff is insanely good. i expect some good recipes in return!

Geez.......... I've been lobster fishing for my whole life, and I never gave much thought to the fact that crabs have balls. Learn something new every day. Storm

I steamed some Rockfish and flaked it apart and refrigerated it. I then replaced the backfin in your recipe with that. Not bad at all. Can't wait to try it with crabs. I addded a little Garlic to the remoulade. I bet the same would be good with that goober meat you got. Thanks for the recipe.

pretty good idea - rockfish and crab have a very similar consistency. will have to try the grouper meat or perhaps some golden tile

Thanks for the recipe. I am thinking of trying it with fresh conch..
