Soft Shell Crabs
Story aired: Wednesday, April 30, 2003
In early May, along the Eastern seashore, blue crabs begin to molt and shed their shells. There is a short period of time when the entire crab is edible, which lasts for a month or two. A true delicacy, soft shell crabs can be grilled, broiled, deep fried or, sauteed.
In the Soft Shell Crab Amandine recipe available below, Kathy coats the crabs with cornmeal and flour, fries them, and tops the dish off with slivered almonds and lemon. |
