Ingredients:
Crabs
1 egg
Cooking oil
1 Tbsp cold water
Dry crumbs or cornmeal
Salt and pepper
Directions:
Prepare crabs by removing apron (under body); lift up the soft points of the shell and discard spongy substance. Cut out eyes and sand bag between eyes. Wash thoroughly and soak in milk for a short time. Follow egg and crumb coating directions for fried shrimp. Fry in deep fat to golden brown. The crabs will rise to the top and should be turned while cooking.
