Cooking Tips:

- Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure to remove any shells or cartilage from the crab meat before using it.
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl before adding the wet ingredients to ensure even distribution of the spices.
- Heat the oil to the right temperature before frying the fritters to ensure they cook evenly and don't absorb too much oil.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
4. Gently fold in the crab meat, being careful not to break it up too much.

6. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the crab mixture into the hot oil.
7. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
