Dammit Man, those look delectable.
Like!

The only thing better than bacon, Softshells.
Probably my biggest food weakness is Softshells.
It's a good thing we've lots and lots of BlueCrabs down here.

Warren

If they were nice dinner plate crabs then she paid a fair price.
I've paid that much for saucer sized Softshells.
When I can't catch'em, I buy'em on sight, price be damned.
And at any good sushi bar a Spider Roll is one of the first things ordered.

I love a good soft crab. Pan fried in butter is just fine for me.

I have friends who run crab shedding operations in the early spring. 8 to 12 weeks of work collecting crabs and tending them in shedding tubs can result in 20 to 30 thousand + dollar pay check but; you don't get much sleep during that period. It's good to have a large family during the shedding season.

The hard crabs in the tubs will eat the soft shells if your not there to get the shed crabs out of the tubs.

I've seen an operation like that once,nature is amazing the things you can see.Pan fried on some good soft rye bread is my normal way of eating them.Thanks

Holy cow, what a meal.
I'm a seafood junky and anything piccata style is my favorite.
Awesome job on that meal.

 

[Bearcarver]

That looks Awesome, my Brother!!:)
That's something I never had, wouldn't know how to even eat them, let alone make them, but I'm sure I'd love them, like I do all other shellfish.
Thanks for Showing!
