DEVIL CRAB ROLLS
Steps:
- In a large bowl, place the cubed stale bread. Pour the water over and let soak for 10 minutes. Sprinkle the salt, garlic salt, black pepper, red chile flakes, crab boil seasoning, chopped celery, and chopped onions. Using your hands, combine all the ingredients together into a homogenized mixture. Set aside so the flavors blend.
- In another large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, crab meat, and crab sauce. Mix into a homogenous blend.
- Take a small handful of the bread mixture and using your thumb or finger, press out a hole. Take a small scoop, about 1 1/2 ounces, of the crab mixture and place it into the hole. Bring the bread mixture around the crab mixture, forming a patty. Set aside on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, or a large platter. Continue making patties until all of the mixtures are used.
- In a large skillet, pour 1 1/2 inches of oil into the pan. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F., or until a small piece of the bread mixture sizzles and bubbles when placed in the oil. Place patties in the pan, being careful not to crowd them. Fry until golden on 1 side, about 3 to 4 minutes, and then flip over and fry until golden on the other side.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pick through the crabmeat to remove bits of cartilage etc. In a mixing bowl combine the crabmeat with the scallions, celery and bell pepper. (Make sure the green onions, celery and bell pepper are very finely chopped because they won't cook in the oven and you don't want their raw texture to be intrusive.) In a separate mixing bowl combine the mustard with the butter and cream. Combine the crabmeat mixture with the melted butter and cracker crumbs. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and Tabasco sauce to taste. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Top with additional cracker crumbs and bake for half an hour until the top has browned.
- Variation instead of combining crabmeat vegetables with the butter and cream combine it with 3/4 cup of evaporated skim milk mixed with 1 teaspoon dry mustard rather than the Dijon mustard.
DEVILED CRABS
Deviled crabs are a quintessential Gullah dish similar to crab cakes. I like to serve them in cleaned crab shells for a pretty presentation. Ask your local fishmonger for the crab shells-they may sell them. Or, you can bake the deviled crab in small ovenproof dishes, too.

Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat: Fresh crab meat has a sweeter and more delicate flavor than canned crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use canned crab meat, but be sure to rinse it well and drain it thoroughly before using.
- Don't overcook the crab meat: Crab meat is very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Be sure to cook it just until it is heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Use a light touch when mixing the ingredients: Overmixing the ingredients can make the crab rolls tough. Be sure to mix them gently until just combined.
- Chill the crab rolls before serving: This will help them to set and make them easier to eat.
- Serve the crab rolls with your favorite dipping sauce: Cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or remoulade are all great options.
