    If you are having a crab party you will also want to make Maryland Crab soup and if you are having a Baltimore themed crab party you must have a Lemon peppermint stick to share with your guests.

    Crab Corn Fritters

    What dips can you serve with the fritters?

    I like the fritters fresh out of the fryer with a heavy sprinkling of Old bay but here are some other suggestions.

    • Honey
    • Sriracha mayonnaise
    • Ayoli
    • Sour Cream
    • Melted butter
    • Ketchup - this was my kids suggestion... not mine.

    Notes

    How to reheat crab corn fritters.
    On the off chance that you have leftover crab fritters, I have found the best way to reheat crab corn fritters is in an air fryer. Set the heat of your air fryer to 400 and reheat the crab corn fritters for 3-4 minutes. I would not recommend reheating crab corn fritters in the microwave. I find that microwaving them makes them too hard for my taste.
     
    Do I have to use canned corn in crab corn fritters?
    You do not have to use canned corn in this crab corn fritter recipe. The canned corn is just for convenience. Feel free to use corn freshly cut off of the cob or even freezer corn will work well. Follow my easy instructions on how to freeze corn.
