Our soft shell blue crabs have a rich, sweet, buttery taste, with a slightly crunchy shell, and are full of pure crab flavor. They are eaten whole: shell, legs, and all, so you don’t have to pick at the meat. Soft shell blue crabs are regular hardshell crabs that have molted and their new shell hasn't developed yet. A popular choice for crab lovers.

As a rule of thumb, soft shells should be broiled or fried for about 4 minutes per side, or 8 minutes total, about 5 minutes per side on the grill. Lightly flouring the crabs and pan-frying them in butter mixed with a little oil is also popular.
