Ingredients

  • Peanut oil, for frying

Tartar Sauce:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 white onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup dill pickle chips, chopped
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch House Seasoning, recipe follows
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Crab Balls:

  • 2 slices bread, crust removed and processed into crumbs
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 teaspoon House Seasoning, recipe follows
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt

Directions

In a heavy, deep pot, preheat peanut oil to 365 degrees F.

    I followed the recipe except that I formed the crab into 6 patties and sauteed them in a little butter and bacon fat. The ratio of fried outer shell to inner carb is way less this way, and it makes for less fattening/greasy cakes while still being wonderful.
