Crab Sticks in Batter
Description
A tasty appetizer for any gathering. I tried making crab sticks in batter a couple of times, but mine never turned out well. I decided to fry them in dough instead—the result was excellent! When making crab sticks in dough, I add a little oatmeal so the dough is denser, and it gives a nice, distinctive flavor too. I recommend you try it as well. Serve the appetizer at the table.

To keep the dish from being too bland, I suggest marinating the sticks in the dressing. For this, mix olive oil, juice from half a lemon, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to combine.
