Crab Sticks1. Drain crab well, pressing it dry in a fine-mesh strainer. Place in large bowl; set aside.

Using cup (50 ml) measure, divide crab mixture into ten portions and place on baking sheet. Using hands, press one portion onto a popsicle sick, forming into a 3-inch (8 cm) long hot dog shape. Return to baking sheet. Repeat with remaining crab portions and popsicle sticks. Chill for 15 minutes.
Coconut Batter1. For coconut batter: In bowl, stir together egg, coconut milk, coconut, flour, sugar, salt and pepper. In heavy-bottomed Dutch oven, heat 2-inches (5 cm) oil to 350F (180C). Dip each crab pogo in coconut batter, being careful not to dip the stick. Two or three at a time, fry pogos in hot oil until golden brown, turning once, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towel-lined tray.
