Where do you go for the best soft shell crabs?

Not upmarket (not that you indicated you care) but I've always found the soft shells at Snockey's to be perfectly, greaselessly, fried. And cheap. I haven't been there in a few years but I can't imagine things have changed. 2nd and Washington.

A little OT, but does anyone know how long they've been there? My folks started going there in the 1940's, maybe earlier!

A report back. Matyson's has terrific soft shell crabs served with a lovely avacado/corn salad. On the flip side run - away - from Snockies. I tried them out too, a trip down auld lang ... No, you can't go there again.

SSOH. Service was disappointing last time I was there, but they always do fried well.

About ten years ago, at Snockey's, I received the rudest and most antagonistic service I have ever experienced. I have never returned, nor will I ever return.

For soft shell crabs - the ones served at the Palm are awfully good.

Thanks for the tip about the Palm. I'm planning to get another taste of ssc before the season's over.

Yes the service at Snocky's was just barely inside the realm of indifferent, but what I can't forgive is wasting my time on such a sad rendering of sscrabs. And it's not as if they're exactly cheap there either.
