Here are the basic steps to get those crabs ready for the frying pan.
, spells its fate. Hard shells and skin-splitting pincers aren't enough to stop us humans from throwing a bunch of them in a pot with Old Bay, then messily picking them to shreds in search of morsels of sweet, tasty meat.Pity even more the soft-shell blue crab, which has shed its protective shell during the growing months of roughly May through September, so that it can form a new, larger one.
Soft-shell crabs need to take a lesson from Bruce Banner, because saying "Don't make me angry—I wouldn't be able to do a damned thing to you even if I were angry" isn't very intimidating. Pity, also, the cook, who has to slaughter the soft-shell crab in what feels like the most brutal way possible: by cutting off its face, ripping free its abdomen, and tearing out its lungs . Some will object to this on ethical grounds, while others will choose to have their fishmonger do it for them.
