Well, these things were absolutely flat, had a slightly greasy taste, were pure fried, and melted in your mouth. The only other time I have ever seen them was about 25 years ago in a little seafood restauraunt in Mexico Beach, Fla.
That sounds like the right thing. The best ones were really crispy around the edges?
I cooked a pile of them one afternoon, trying to get it right, and some of them almost were, but were a tad too greasy. I think it has something to do with the type grease you use, and the temperature you fry them at.
