Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup fresh lime juice
6 tablespoons fish sauce (nam pla)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
3 jalapeño chillies, seeded, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
8 ounces fresh crabmeat, drained
2 grapefruits
2 oranges
1 1/2 cupspanko (japanese breadcrumbs)
2 firm but ripe avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Make sauce:
  • Mix all ingredients in large bowl to blend. Cover and chill at least 1 hour or overnight to develop flavors.
  • Make fritters:
  • Mix mayonnaise, mustard, lemon peel and hot pepper sauce in medium bowl to blend. Mix in crabmeat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Shape crab mixture into six 2 1/4-inch-diameter patties, using 1/4 cup mixture for each. Place fritters on baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
  • Cut all peel and white pith from grapefruits. Using small sharp knife, cut between membranes to release segments. Repeat with oranges. Chill segments until ready to serve.
  • Place panko in shallow dish. Cost each fritter with panko, pressing to adhere. Pour oil into heavy large skillet to depth of 1/2 inch and heat to 350°F. Cook fritters in batches until brown and heated through, about 2 minutes per side. Drain fritters on paper towels.
  • Fan avocado slices and grapefruit and orange segments on plates. Drizzle 1 tablespoon sauce over each plate. Top each with 1 fritter. Sprinkle cilantro and chives over and serve.

I followed the recipe exactly and the fritters turned out raw in the middle. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These fritters were a disappointment. They were greasy and the crab flavor was overpowered by the bread crumbs.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I thought these crab fritters were pretty good. They were a little bland for my taste, but the spicy lime sauce helped to perk them up.
