1 pound jumbo lump crab meat, picked through carefully for shells

1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs (just pulse good white bread with crusts removed in your food processor)

1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

1 extra large egg

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup mayonaise

1 tablespoon Worstershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

Carefully combine all the above ingredients. Shape the mixture into 1 inch round balls.

Step 2

Chill the balls in a refrigerator for at least an hour. They can also be frozen at this point, and defrosted prior to cooking in the future.

Step 3

Heat the oil, 2 inches deep, in a deep pot to 350 degrees. Drop in a few balls at a time, cooking for 5 minutes until crispy and cooked through. Drain on a rack or paper plate. Cool slightly and then serve with lemon wedges or sauce if you desire.
