Serves:
4 to 6 cakes, 16 fritters

Ingredients

1 cup lump or backfin crabmeat
1 cup special crabmeat (small pieces white crabmeat)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

If using a deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 375

brown on the other side about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain both on a tray lined with paper towels. Serve
immediately.
