That’s right, folks. \u00a0Not just crab. \u00a0We’re talking krab-with-a-k, otherwise known as imitation crab. \u00a0But this isn’t just any krab. \u00a0This is fried<\/em> krab. \u00a0And you thought there wasn’t a god…\"IMG_3178.5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Apparently, when you’re extremely hungry and also feeling a bit creative, beautiful things like this happen. \u00a0I ate them with Worcestershire aioli that I made right then, which was tangy and delicious. \u00a0The krab, as it turned out, had enough flavor and moistness to be a great snack even without their dipping sauce.<\/p>\n

And man, was it delicious. \u00a0I coated them with beaten eggs, then pressed them into a mixture of flour, lemon pepper, and a dash of oregano. \u00a0They fried in a splash of oil on my non-stick griddle. \u00a0I have to admit, I was skeptical when making them, thinking that the crab would be too dry or that the lemon pepper that I put in would overpower the fake crab. \u00a0But to my delight, I was wrong about everything. \u00a0The lemon was perfect with the crab, and the layer of crispy flour seemed to protect the delicate krab, keeping it moist and flaky on the insides of the nuggets. \u00a0I will definitely be doing this again soon.<\/p>\n

Some things to note: \u00a0make sure the krab cooks long enough so that the outside is truly crispy. \u00a0Yes, this is probably a little bit beyond the classic “golden brown”. \u00a0But if the flour is undercooked, it will just make the krab oily and icky. \u00a0I tried one before it was ready, and thought that the whole experiment had failed. \u00a0However, the ones that stayed in the pan slightly longer were absolutely perfect- what a difference 30 seconds can make! \u00a0It’s okay if there are some flecks of burnt pepper or oregano, this creates a really unique and refreshing flavor. \u00a0On the other hand, don’t overcook them, or the krab will be dry and the flour will burn. \u00a0Not tasty. \u00a0They are easy to cook correctly, and would be perfect in a soft taco with cabbage and lime. \u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
