Tips:

  • Choose fresh crab meat for the best flavor. Look for crab meat that is bright red or orange in color and has a slightly sweet smell.
  • If you are using frozen crab meat, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes before using.
  • Be sure to drain the crab meat well before using it in the recipe. This will help to prevent the crab triangles from becoming soggy.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the crab meat into small pieces. This will help to ensure that the crab triangles are cooked evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the crab triangles. They should be cooked until they are just heated through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve the crab triangles immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Crab triangles are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple mixture of crab meat, cream cheese, and seasonings, and they are then coated in bread crumbs and fried until golden brown. Crab triangles can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or remoulade.
