Today Gourmet Soft Shell Crab Whales, 12-Whales
Key item features
- Sample the sensation of the Chesapeake Bay with our unbeatable Soft Shell Crabs! We take extra care to preserve their sweet, tangy flavor and ensure they arrive to you primed and ready to cook. Let your taste buds explore a unique delicacy straight from the Chesapeake Bay
- Soft shells arrive dressed (fancy industry term for cleaned), vacuum sealed, and flash frozen in small batches to make sure all the flavor was preserved.
- Available in three sizes; Primes measure between 4-1/2" to 5" inches; Jumbos measure between 5" to 5-1/2" point to point; and Whales measure 5-1/2 inches and bigger point to point.
- PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS: Soft shell crabs are eaten whole, 'shell' and all. The shell is quite pliable, and the meat inside is lovely, juicy, and bursting with pure crab flavor. When it comes to cooking soft shell crabs, simplicity reigns supreme. Whether broiling, grilling, or frying, the process is straightforward. A quick 4 minutes per side in the broiler or fryer, or 5 minutes per side on the grill, is all it takes. It is popular to lightly flour the crabs and pan-fry them in butter mixed with oil. A variation on this is to cook them in butter and olive oil, then deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a teaspoon or two of tiny capers; some chopped fresh parsley, plus salt and cracked pepper to taste—a unique and nearly instantaneous sauce. It's important to note that when deep-frying soft shells, steam can accumulate in the claws and legs, potentially causing them to burst and spatter hot oil. To prevent this, either pierce each claw and leg segment with a pin before frying or use a second fry basket to keep the crabs fully submerged in the oil.
