And as my grandmother once said, “creb bowls they are the best part of the crab!”

For the Crab Balls:

• 1 large egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 cup panko or other bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 pinch cayenne
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1 pound lump crabmeat from The Crab Place, picked over for shells and cartilage Vegetable oil for deep-frying

For the Sunset Sauce:

• 1 cup CrabPlace.com Tartar Sauce
• 3 tablespoons Cocktail Sauce from The Crab Place

In a medium bowl, combine the egg, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, salt, cayenne, lemon juice, thyme, and parsley. Mix well. Gently fold in the crabmeat. Avoid over-blending. Form the mixture into 1-inch balls.

In a large heavy Dutch oven, heat 4 inches of oil until 320 degrees. Add a handful of the crab balls and deep-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, or until crispy. Meanwhile prepare the Sunset Sauce. In a small bowl, combine the tartar sauce with cocktail sauce and stir until well-blended and pale orange. Drain briefly on paper towels and serve immediately with Sunset Sauce.
