  2. Rinse well in cool water.

  4. Place flour in one bowl, eggs in another, and bread crumbs in the last.
  5. Roll each crab in the flour, dip in the eggs, and then coat with the bread crumbs.
  6. Heat a skillet with about one inch of oil.
  7. Sauté each crab on one side for 4-5 minutes, turn and continue until each crab is crispy, about 4 minutes more.

Lee's Tip: For a great variation, top the crab with some toasted almonds and melted unsalted butter.
