Crawfish Fritters Island Style
From notyourmomma 17 years ago
- 10 minutes to make
- Serves 8
Momma always added tomatoes and onions, minced very fine to her hush puppy batter. Dad#2 suggested we make fritters out of some leftover mudbugs, adding some heat and savory to spice things up. These were very good and way better than a plain hush puppy.

How to make it
- Blend crawfish(drop in blender, a little at a time, while the machine is running,) with the habanero, sweet pepper,, tomatoes, and onions.
- Do not pulverize, just give it a quick pulse chop to cut up the meat and the habanero to be equal in size to the other vegetables and you really just barely want to mix the ingredients.
- In medium sized bowl, sieve together: flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Fold crawfish mixture into flour bowl.
- Add lime, and rum, then add as much of the cup of water as needed to form a stiff (but not too dry) consistency.
- Fry in deep fat by dropping spoonfuls.
- Fritters will be golden to deep brown. (Big spoonfuls for a main dish; small spoonfuls for an appetizer)
- Dry on absorbent paper.
- Sprinkle with sea salt while still hot.
- Mix sauce ingredients together and serve with hot fritters.
