Ingredients for Fried Crab Claws

1 pound fresh Crab Claws
1 bag of Fish & Shrimp Fry or substitute with corn flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Tony’s Creole Seasoning
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
lime or lemon juice
ketchup
fresh prepared horseradish
Canola oil for frying

Start by pouring about 2 inches of oil in a heavy bottom saucepan or use an electric fryer.

Pour the Fish Fry, flour, and Tony’s into a large mixing bowl. Stir well.

In a smaller mixing bowl, crack to egg and add milk and 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice. Mix well.

Heat oil on a medium heat (#6).

Put several crab claws in the egg wash to coat. Then, toss crab claws into the Fish Fry mixture and coat well. Place on a clean platter. Repeat until all crab claws are battered.

Place crab claws in the fryer – maybe a dozen at a time. They only need to fry about 2 minutes or less. Really quick.

Move to a drain on paper towels.

Make Cocktail Sauce with one cup ketchup and 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish and a squeeze of lemon or lime.

Serving Fried Crab Claws

One pound of Crab Claws will likely serve 6-8 people. They are pretty addictive. Enjoy!
