Notes

  • Choose fresh and high-quality crab meat. The quality of the crab meat will significantly affect the flavor and texture of the crab bombs.
 
  • Allow the mixture to chill before forming the crab bombs. Place the crab mixture in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes before assembling the crab bombs. The mix will be easier to handle and will not fall apart during cooking.
 
  • Try baking them in the oven instead of frying them for a healthier alternative. Bake them at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until the crab bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
 
  • Serve the crab bombs with a dipping sauce to add an extra layer of flavor.
