Description

Sweet corn and succulent crab combined with the guacamole make these a very tasty fritter.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup White Whole Wheat Flour (or All-purpose)
  • ¼ cups Cornmeal
  • 3 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Fresh Chives
  • 1-½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ⅛ teaspoons Ground Red Pepper
  • ½ cups Low-fat Buttermilk
  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • ¾ cups Frozen Sweet Corn Kernels, Thawed
  • 8 ounces, weight Container Lump Crabmeat, Shell Pieces Removed
  • ¼ cups Canola Oil, Divided
  • 2 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Seeded Plum Tomato
  • 1 Tablespoon Organic Canola Mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Minced Red Onion
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Lemon Or Lime Juice
  • ⅛ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 whole Avocado, Peeled And Seeded

Preparation

To prepare fritters, spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (through red pepper) in a large bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Combine buttermilk and eggs, stirring well. Add egg mixture, corn, and crab to the flour mixture, stirring gently until moist.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan; swirl to coat. Add 5 (1/4-cup size) batter mounds to a pan, pressing each with the back of spatula to slightly flatten. Cook for 4 minutes on each side or until golden and throughly cooked. Repeat with remaining the 2 tablespoons of oil and batter.

To prepare guacamole, combine tomato and remaining ingredients in a bowl. Mash avocado with a fork to desired consistency. Serve with fritters.

these were very, very good – i made a few changes that made them great (to my taste). i used claw meat because it was significantly cheaper but did not affect the taste. i did add quite a bit more salt and cayenne, and also added a bit of garlic powder and black pepper. i served them with remoulade sauce and enjoyed them very much! thanks for sharing!

Let me first state that I don’t like seafood, but I cook it for others all the time. This recipe sounded good, so I made it for my Bunco girls the other night.

My guests said they were good, but not “wow” good. For instance, one person, who I asked to be honest, said these were good, but after trying the other appetizers I made, they were just good. The others were better.

Another person really liked them and thought the guacamole was what really made them good.

My son said they were good, but not anything special. He thought they were missing some zip to them, so maybe a little more cayenne??

Anyway, I am giving it a 5 mitt rating because I did not eat them myself, just wanted to state what everyone thought.

I had three large blue crabs left over from going out to dinner yesterday evening and found after picking it this morning that I had 8 oz of crab meat just begging to be used! I came over to tasty kitchen (for the first time looking for a recipe) and plugged “crab” into the search feature and decided to try this recipe! Very easy to put together and tasted terrific – the guacamole just makes it! I used it as the entree for dinner with a side salad to round the meal out. I’ll definitely make it again – think the only thing I’d change is that I’d add a bit more corn, and a bit more cayenne – but that’s just personal taste – the recipe is terrific!
