For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the aioli or the fritter batter. If you don't have hush puppy mix, you can substitute it with a mixture of equal parts all-purpose flour and cornmeal, plus a pinch of baking powder. Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent the fritters from absorbing too much oil. Lump crabmeat provides the best flavor and texture, but you can also use claw meat if preferred. The aioli can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
