Soft Shell Crab BLT's


Thanks to the Wall St. Journal for the inspiration to buy the soft shell crabs. And thanks to #GailMonaghan for providing the wonderful story in the weekend journal that inspired tonight's dinner. Read it here. online.wsj.com/articles/stress-free-soft-shell-crab-recipes-1401477474 

I used the flour and cornmeal mixture from Gail's recipe in the Wall St. Journal to create my Soft Shell Crab BLT's.

6 soft shell crab
1 cup flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper

1 1/2 cups buttermilk
3 eggs 

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix eggs and buttermilk in separate bowl. Dredge crabs one at a time in flour then buttermilk, then flour again. Fry in 1 inch of canola oil for 3-4 minutes per side. 

Fried soft shell crab, mayo, applewood smoked bacon, butter lettuce and tomato. Yummy. 


Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. 


Sizzling deliciousness.
