Yield Makes about 20 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 garlic cloves
8 ounces skinless sea bass or halibut fillets, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 egg white
1 tablespoon fish sauce (nam pla)*
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce*

8 ounces crabmeat, drained
8 ounces cooked shrimp, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
