My thoughts:

We had such a seafood weekend! We had a clambake inwards the Inner Harbor that had clam, mussels, crabs, lobster, together alongside sausage so the side past times times side twenty-four hr menstruum we had steamed crabs together alongside corn at domicile inwards the backyard. The alone affair we didn't comport concur was soft crabs. Soft crabs are maybe my well-nigh favorite nutrient so this clearly needed to concur upward rectified.

I purchased cleaned them. You send away sack role defrosted, previously frozen, cleaned soft crabs just yous lot create not want to buy dead nonfrozen soft crabs every fighting they spoil genuinely quickly together alongside yous lot comport concur no agency of knowing how long they were dead! It is okay to buy them concur upward together alongside comport concur the store construct create clean them for yous lot every fighting long every fighting yous lot create them quickly together alongside continue them cool.  If yous lot concur upward inwards a blueish crab area, seafood markets together alongside locally owned grocery stores are your best bet, although I testament concur upward honest together alongside province I comport concur besides bought them at stands on the side of the road. They're concur upward together alongside if they were spoiled, I'd know so I sense safe doing that. But that's pro-level crab procurement.  If yous lot are local, sense liberate to electronic post service me together alongside I testament say yous lot where I teach my crabs. I e'er select a cooler together alongside huge H2O H2O ice pack to send my crabs domicile inwards since it is summertime together alongside I don't want to poisonous substance us.

Anyway, I unremarkably create a flour coat for my soft crabs together alongside create sandwiches just I got fancy this quaternary dimension together alongside busted out the cornmeal together alongside made grits on the side using upward the extra corn on the cob the steamed crab household gave us for or so reason. It was such a expert meal! I besides made or so other vegetable dish just honestly, the grits together alongside the soft crabs were enough. The crabs were super juicy together alongside flavorful (the batter together alongside the fact that yous lot eat them musical musical rhythm out together alongside all genuinely keeps the flavor in) together alongside the creamy grits tied inwards perfectly. I genuinely want to create this same repast again, right now.
