I made these today as I had crab sticks left over from a seafood salad I had made earlier in the week. I made a request adjustments I added some season all and old bay seasoning to the egg and milk wash to give the inside flavor and I added paprika to the pankos to help them brown. After they were done I sprinkled with a little salt and pepper and ate them with ketchup. I was very pleased with them.

Thank you Ken, so fast, inexpensive and easy. It was a hit in my house! I spiced it up a bit with some Parmesan panko bread crumbs LOL. Really came out good. I also added a plate of mixed greens with lemon and lime citrus. Perfect!
