In a medium frying pan or skillet. Heat oil, about 1/4 to 1/2 inches, on medium heat. When oil is hot, carefully place the crab patties into the oil. Leave adequate space in between the crab patties so that they do not stick together. Once browned, flip the patties with a spatula and brown on the other side. Remove from the oil and place on a plate with a paper towel. Continue the process until you have completed the whole batch. Let cool. Enjoy! |
