How to Prepare: Cleaning our Louisiana Soft Shell Crab is simple: Hold the crab under cold running water to remove any debris. Use kitchen shears to cut off the face (mouth and eyes), remove the apron (flap on the underside), and lift the top shell to pull out the gills (feathery lungs) on both sides. Rinse again and pat dry. For a classic preparation, dredge the crab in seasoned flour or buttermilk batter. Pan-fry in hot oil or butter over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Alternatively, deep-fry at 350°F for 3-5 minutes or bake at 425°F for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway. Serve with remoulade sauce, lemon wedges, or in a po'boy sandwich for an authentic Creole experience.
