Chesapeake Soft Shell Crabs

Delicious Chesapeake Bay Soft Shell Crabs
Prime-sized, soft-shell blue crabs, packed individually into vacuum-sealed packages with 2 crabs per pack and about 4.5-5" in length (claw to claw). We source our crabs from the waters of the Chesapeake Bay's Eastern Shore, where the art of selecting shedding crabs for the perfect soft shell has been practiced by the local watermen for generations.
What are Softshell Crabs?
Soft shells are crabs that have molted (shed their hard shell). If caught within 12 hours of shedding, the crabs are very soft, therefore soft-shell crabs can be cooked and eaten whole, claw to claw (once the crabs are 'cleaned' after catching). Our Sizzlefish soft shell crabs are already cleaned, frozen, and individually wrapped when they arrive to your doorstep. Simply thaw out and enjoy!
How do I cook Softshell Crabs?
There are a variety of ways to cook softshell crabs with the most popular being to saute, air fry, or pan fry. Check out these recipes below for more inspiration and direction:

Birthday gift for my cousin
She loved this gift! She raved about how it was packaged - so nice! She said everything is so delicious and a great variety of seafood. She had the haddock last night and called me to tell me how good it was.

Perfect for pescatarians!
My husband and I have had a seafood subscription box for almost two years now. Since we eat a pescatarian diet, this subscription has been a lifesaver. The quality and selection is much better than our local grocery store.
