Crab and Corn Fritter Recipe

By Black Pearl Spice Co.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • 1.5 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ warm milk
  • ½ cup cooked corn (I used steamed, but canned or grilled would also be nice)
  • ⅓ crab meat (go for claw or lump, it's going to break up quite a bit during mixing, no sense paying for jumbo lump)
  • 2 tsp seafood seasoning of choice
  • Optional: ½ jalapeno, seeded and diced small
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Whisk dry ingredients in large bowl.
  • Gently beat egg and milk in separate bowl.
  • Add egg and milk mixture to dry mixture and stir just until combined.
  • Some small lumps may remain.
  • Combine fritter base, corn, crab, seafood seasoning, and jalapeno if using.
  • Refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes.
  • Scoop chilled batter by rounded tablespoons and roll into balls.
  • Dredge in flour.
  • Deep fry at 350 degrees until golden.
  • Serve with oyster salsa.
