Tis' The Season

I'm use to not be a fan of eating soft shells. Just recently have I begun to eat them (like last year). I happened to get some last week and was going to fry them up for dinner as soon as Scott cleaned them for me. However, Scott wasn't able to so, so I dove in and with the help of my Dad talking me through the first one, I cleaned my first 12 dozen soft shells and then fried them for supper, and boy were they good! :)

After I cleaned them, all I did was roll them around in milk, bread them with seafood breader (mixed with a little Old Bay), and fry them!

Soft shell crab is a term for crabs that have recently molted their old exoskeleton and are still soft.
