Place flour in one bowl, eggs in another, and bread crumbs in the last. Roll crab in the flour, dip in the eggs, and then coat with the bread crumbs. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Heat a skillet with about 1 inch of oil. Saute crab on one side for 4 to 5 minutes, turn and continue until crab is crispy. Place browned crabs in oven for 8 minutes until hot all the way through and crispy.

Serve with cocktail sauce, remoulade, a green sauce, or a creamy Dijon sauce. Always serve the sauce on the side.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
