Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 soft-shell crabs
1 egg
½ cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste
4 cups oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Clean each crab. Lift one pointed side of top shell and remove the gills by pulling them out. Put top shell back down and repeat on other side. On the bottom side remove tail flap by twisting and pulling off. Using a pair of scissors, remove the face by cutting behind the eyes. Rinse the crabs thoroughly with cold water. Dry on paper towels.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F (180 degrees F). In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk using a fork. In a separate bowl, stir salt and pepper into the flour. Lightly salt the crab, then dip in the flour, dip in the egg, then in the flour again.
  • Carefully place crabs into the deep-fryer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown on one side. Carefully turn over, and cook until golden on the other side. Drain on paper towels. Serve as soon as they are cool enough to eat. You can eat the whole crab.

Categories     Crab

Time 1h

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped sweet-hot sandwich pickles (such as Wickles)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
1 small shallot, finely chopped (about 2 Tbsp.)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon black pepper, divided
6 live soft-shell crabs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 small head romaine lettuce (about 4 oz.), cut into 4-inch pieces
2 large tomatoes (about 1 lb.), cut into 1⁄4-inch-thick slices
6 large potato rolls, split

Steps:

  • Stir together first 7 ingredients, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 1⁄2 teaspoon of the pepper in a bowl; set aside.
  • Using a sharp pair of kitchen shears, snip off mouth and eyes of crabs; squeeze out gooey matter where cut was made. Carefully raise top shell on far left of crab. Use shears to cut away feathery-looking gills; repeat procedure on right side of crab. Turn crab over, and remove tough flap from stomach.
  • Stir together flour and remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Dredge crabs in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high until hot. Add 3 prepared crabs; cook until golden brown and aromatic, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Place crabs on paper towels to drain and cool. Repeat with remaining butter, oil, and prepared crabs.
  • Divide sauce, fried crabs, lettuce, and tomatoes evenly among potato rolls, and serve immediately.

Categories     Sandwich     Shellfish     Marinate     Fourth of July     Crab     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 live softshelled crabs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
8 English muffins
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
1 tablespoon minced shallot

Steps:

  • Have the fishmonger clean crabs, each about 2 to 3 ounces, or clean them*. In a dish combine vegetable oil, garlic cloves, Old Bay seasoning (available at fish markets), and salt and pepper to taste. Add the crabs, patted dry, turn them to coat them with the mixture, and let them marinate, covered and chilled, for at least 2 hours.
  • Have ready English muffins, split in half and flattened with a rolling pin. In a small saucepan combine unsalted butter, lemon juice and parsley leaves, shallot, and salt and pepper to taste, heat the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring, until the butter is just melted, and reserve it.
  • Drain the soft-shelled crabs, put in a grill basket or arrange them over glowing coals for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they turn red. Grill the English muffins, turning them once, until they are crisp and browned lightly, brush the split sides with the reserved herb butter, and sandwich 1 grilled crab between 2 muffin halves.
  • To clean soft-shelled crabs:
  • Rinse live soft-shelled crabs under running cold water. With scissors cut off the heads about 1/4 inch behind the eyes and cut off the white gills. Peel back the aprons, cut them off, and rinse the crabs again.

  • In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, dill pickle, red onion, tarragon, capers, Dijon mustard, and half the salt and pepper. This is your remoulade. Set aside until needed.
  • Place the pancetta slices in a single layer in a large skillet or frying pan. Cook over medium heat, turning once, until the pancetta is crispy. This should take about 6 minutes. If you would like your pancetta to stay flat, weigh it down with a heavy pot lid that is smaller than the skillet or pan in use. Transfer the pancetta to a paper towel lined plate and wipe out the skillet.
  • In the same pan, melt the butter and cooking oil. The butter will impart a nice, nutty flavor and the oil will keep it from burning. Season the soft shell crabs with salt and pepper and then dust them with flour. You want to be generous with the flour. Cook the crabs in the skillet over high heat, turning once, until they are crisp and golden. They should take about 5-7 minutes to cook all the way through, depending on the size.
  • Spread your remoulade on the cut sides of the bun. Arrange the pancetta and the soft shell crabs on the bottom of the bun and the arugula and tomato on the top half. Close the sandwiches and cut them in half if desired.
