Ingredients
 
 

  • 8 ounces grouper, cooked and flaked
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 ounces cream
  • 8 ounces crab meat
  • 2 tablespoons chives
  • 8 ounces bread crumbs
  • Oil for the frying
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 teaspoons lemon rind, grated
  • 4 ounces yogurt, plain
  • 4 ounces mayonnaise
  • Juice of a lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • For the sauce, mix the grated rind of lemon and the yogurt in a bowl. Add the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Leave it aside.
  • Mix the grouper fillet, the egg white, salt and pepper in a bowl. Add the fresh cream, and place the bowl in a bigger container full of ice-cubes to keep cool. Incorporate the crab and the chives. Form 3 cm (just over 1") round balls and coat them in bread crumbs. Press down a bit if you want.
  • Fry the fritter 4 to 6 minutes in very hot oil. Add salt and pepper to your taste.
