Soft Shell Crab

Soft shell crab is a culinary delight harvested during the brief periods when crabs outgrow and shed their old shells to form new ones. This makes them soft and completely edible, apart from the mouth and gills, offering an exquisite, slightly sweet flavor profile that rivals other sophisticated seafood offerings. Due to its unique texture and flavor, soft shell crab is a highly coveted ingredient in several global cuisines. It can be cooked in myriad ways including sautéed, grilled, or deep fried, and is famously part of sushi rolls, salads and delicate pasta dishes. It lends itself magnificently to inventive recipes that allow for an unmatched gastronomical exploration.
