Got some soft shell crabs from a friend who works the docks. Not free. Had to pay for them. LOL. Put all up in the freezer but the two Kathy fried tonight. Man were they good. Had some Cole Slaw to go with them.
All cleaned

That sure does look good. How does your wife cook the soft shelled crabs? I have never eaten them before like that.

Soft shell crab and soft shell crawfish poboys are my two favorite fried seafoods. French bread with pickles, tomatoes, lettuce with mustard and mayo. You can’t beat it.

Didn't know there were soft shell crawfish. That would make a good sub sandwich.

They molt like crab. Watching and checking on them before they become paper shells, which are too hard to eat, is why they are more expensive. The first time I had them was about 20 years ago at the Jazz Fest in New Orleans. I had to check out what the long line of folks was for. I’m glad I did.

In the 80s there was a seafood restaurant near/in Mount Pleasant that made a very good she crab soup.

Do you eat the whole thing just like the crab? I just ordered 12lb's of crawfish from our Harris Teeter store on Tuesday. Will get them on the 19th. They come live and $6.99 a lb. Can't wait.

They are cleaned like a crab. Pull the shell back, remove the entrails, close it back up, season and fry. I ate some boiled last Sunday. They were big and fat and delicious.
