1 dozen medium-sized male crabs (washed and scrubbed in water with legs, back shell intact
1 pound backfin crab meat
1 egg
1 scant cup flour
1 scant cup milk
2 teaspoons parsley
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (enough vegetable oil for deep frying)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon celery seed
» Preparation Instructions:
Combine all ingredients except crab, crab meat and vegetable oil to make a batter. Stir one tablespoon of vegetable oil into the batter. Fill blue crab crevices where innards were removed with crab meat and press the crab meat firmly into the crevice to secure. Holding each stuffed blue crab with tongs, dip into batter. Then place into the deep fryer filled with very hot vegetable oil. Completely cover the crab and fry individually for seven minutes or until golden.
