Soft crab season, whenever you want it
Soft crabs are blue crabs caught right after they shed their shells, and Marylanders eat them whole, legs and all. Our Hotel/Prime soft crabs measure 4 to 5 inches, a classic size for an appetizer for a small gathering soft crab sandwich, and will arrive frozen, cleaned and ready to cook. Dust them in seasoned flour (we like it with OLD BAY), pan-fry in a little oil and butter until crisp and red, then serve on white bread with one of our signature sauces and tomato or alongside lemon. Choose a 3 pack, a half dozen or a dozen.

Skillet Cooking Instructions
-
- Lightly dust the soft crabs in SEASONED FLOUR (preferably with Old Bay) to coat on both sides.
- Heat Oil in a Skillet over medium-high heat until simmering hot. Add a little Butter and swirl in the skillet to melt.
- Add the crabs top side down and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes.
- With tongs, flip the crabs and cook until red and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads about 145° F.
- Transfer crabs to a large paper-towel-lined plate to drain briefly.
- Plate, serve with lemons & enjoy!
