cracker crumbs

Crushed saltine bits

Cracker crumbs are the small fragments left when crackers break or are deliberately crushed.

They serve as a coating for fried foods, a topping for casseroles, or a binding agent in meatloaf and crab cakes: Roll the fish in cracker crumbs before frying.

The term also refers to the debris at the bottom of a cracker box or sleeve.
