👨‍🍳 Instructions

Dress fresh crabs or thaw frozen crabs. Rinse in cold water; drain.

Combine eggs, milk, and salt.

Combine flour and crumbs.

Dip crabs in egg mixture and roll in flour/crumb mixture. For heavier breading, let crabs sit several minutes and repeat dipping/rolling procedure. Additional spices, such as cayenne pepper and garlic, may also be added.

Place crabs in a heavy frying pan which contains 1/8 to 1/4 inch of fat, hot but not smoking.

Fry at moderate heat. When crabs are brown on one side, turn carefully and brown the other side. Cooking time is approximately 8 to 10 minutes.

Drain on absorbent paper.
