/2 cup milk  
eggs  
garlic cloves, minced  
cups saltine cracker crumbs  
tablespoons unsalted butter  
tablespoons olive oil

In a shallow dish, stir the flour together with the oregano, salt and pepper. In a second dish, mix  
together milk and eggs. Add cracker crumbs to garlic, and process until crumbs are ground fine.  
Transfer crumbs to another dish. In a large, heavy skillet, warm the butter and oil together over  
medium−high heat. Dip each crab lightly first in the flour, next in the egg mixture, and then in the  
cracker crumbs. Add the crabs to the skillet, in two batches, if necessary, and pan−fry them 6 to 8  
minutes, turning them once. Drain crabs, and serve immediately.
