Eastern Shore Soft Crab Sandwich Recipe

  Seafood

Ingredients:
cleaned soft shell crab (gills, apron and "face" removed. If you buy them frozen..they will already be cleaned)
butter
flour
salt & pepper

Directions:
Heat small frying pan. Add a few tablespoons of butter (or margarine). Salt & pepper the crab. Lightly flour the crab. Fry (med/low heat)on each side until legs are crisp (approx 10 - 15 min each side?). Serve as a sandwich on white bread (must be white bread, hon) with lettuce, tomato & mayo or eat them as is.
This is the simplest and my favorite way to eat soft crabs (note my email address). You can follow the same directions if the crab is frozen. Just fry a little longer and you may want to press down on the crab with a spatula while it is frying. This gets out the extra water.
