Crispy Fried Snow Crab Cocktail Claws

This recipe uses cooked frozen Snow Crab Cocktail Claws. Since the crab is already cooked, frying is only for creating a crisp coating and warming the claw.

Ingredients

  • Thawed Snow Crab Cocktail Claws
  • Flour
  • Egg
  • Panko or breadcrumbs
  • Seafood seasoning
  • Neutral frying oil
  • Lemon for serving

Method

  1. Thaw the claws under refrigeration and pat the shells dry.
  2. Set up flour, beaten egg, and seasoned breadcrumbs.
  3. Coat the portion intended for breading while keeping the claw easy to hold.
  4. Fry briefly until the coating is crisp and golden and the already-cooked crab is warmed through.
  5. Drain and serve immediately with lemon, remoulade, or aioli.
