Ingredients

2 lbs crabmeat
1 cup diced green onions
1 medium avocado, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch pieces
2 eggs
1/2 cup hot chili salsa
salt
1/4 cup bread crumbs
corn oil for frying
all-purpose flour
green onions, thinly slivered

Method

Step 1

Line baking sheet with parchment. Combine crab, 1 cup green onions and avocado in large bowl. Mix eggs, salsa and salt; add to crab. Mix in bread crumbs. Form mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls. Place on prepared sheet. Cover with plastic and refrigerate 3 hours. Can be prepared ahead and frozen. Do not thaw before cooking.

Step 2

Preheat oven to lowest setting. Line another baking sheet with paper towels. Pour oil into large skillet to depth of 3 inches. Heat to 350F. Dust fritters with flour. Carefully add to oil in batches (do not overcrowd) and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side for refrigerated fritters and about 3 minutes for frozen fritters. Drain on paper towels. Transfer to prepared sheet and keep warm in oven until all are cooked. Garnish with green onion slivers and serve immediately.
