The soft shell crab I had yesterday was sold already cleaned. Today, after a few phone calls, I was at the fish market when they unloaded the live crabs, took it home in a cooler, cleaned it and shook it up in a mixture of Old Bay and flour. I dipped it into an egg wash, then back into the flour mixture. I shook it off again and into hot butter in the fry pan it went. Served it with spicy lemon aioli. Best soft shell crab sandwich ever!
