LOOKS TASTY FOR SURE........

I can almost taste them.

A lot of locals will leave the “shell” on their crabs for frying, my preference is to remove the shell.  This allows the body to cook evenly and I find the shell a bit chewy….I dust them in corn flour and fry in peanut oil…..this year these crabs were $5.00 a piece, still a shortage from the pandemic, when abundant you can get them for two bucks each.
