Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Step 3
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Step 4
Fold in the corn kernels, crabmeat, scallions, and parsley, being careful not to overmix.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter and gently drop it into the hot oil. Cook 2-3 fritters at a time to avoid overcrowding.

Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 8
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt to make the garlic aioli.
