Where do you get this?
Mcilroy
Asparagus is alright too but that steak looks daaank
Tigtip
Better be old bay or J&O spice on that crab
PanicAtTheCostco
I've never seen soft shell crab served whole like that! Looks tasty

You must be from murrland!
MegaDiogenes
That looks vile (the crab. Steak looks OK).
CrazyGuyOnABike
I agree. Very poorly done. It's an excellent piece of meat that someone just lobbed at a frier. It's like someone took a spanish honeyed
CrazyGuyOnABike
ham and fried it in grease and put it on a pizza. Disgraceful.
SonRexsmith
Whole crab*
CaspianQuix
Layer: crab, steak, greens, butter sauce, crab. Consume.
elppapple
Ahem, lemon?
CaspianQuix
I swear, if so much as one drop of lemon hits that steak, I'm taking the kids and moving to my mothers.
StarryPlough
Pretty odd accompaniment to steak
chavnutsmcchav
The best sushi place in my town makes a roll called the Spider Roll. Sushi with a whole fried softshell crab inside. Best fucking thing.
JustDaShoemaker
sounds epic
chavnutsmcchav
Oh it is.
CrazyGuyOnABike
What did you do to that poor crab? It was edible once, before someone hucked it into a frier.

Softies are the best. I like some smoked potato salad with a tarragon aioli. Fucking amazballz

Aaand I am hungry...

Is that breaded, and fried asparagus? I typically steam and glaze it, but that looks good too.
inkedupsailor
Gonna be hard to eat with a raging hard on. Am-I-right?

Soft Shell are the absolute best. Now where is that pitcher of beer?
LexDrill
How do soft shell differ in taste than hard shell? I've only had hard shell and have issues wrapping my mind around eating the shells too
JustDaShoemaker
Like spicy crab flavored potato chips
bigeasy44
They're the same crabs, just at different points in their shell development/ molting cycle. The meat is about the same, you can just prepare
bigeasy44
Soft shell differently. Hard shell you can't fry, because you'd just be frying the shell, soft shell you essentially fry the meat directly.
bigeasy44
You also can't really season the meat on hard shell, but can do more with soft shell.
ChefJameBalls
Did you deep fry the veggies as well? + 1's all around. I feel bad for all these folks who don't know the glory or soft shell crab. Yum!
arccola
And water?!? Get yo self some saki!
bleggs
soft shell crabs are MY JAMMMM
zanewastaken
Some good surf and turf
IrishSkillet
Marylander here. When a crab out grows it’s shell it “molts” and sheds its shell. The new shell is soft for a period of time. Most places 1/
IrishSkillet
Lift the shell and clean the guts out before breading and frying. Soft crab sandwich is amazing. A sandwich w/ legs hanging out is surreal.

Tiny Octopus makes the obligatory, "Is this the Krusty Krab" joke. Now he's waiting...
JustDaShoemaker
Umm err... "hey bob we're having spongecake for dessert"? sorry I have no pop culture reference skills here
TinyOctopus
No no. Tiny Octopus points out this is the correct response:
JustDaShoemaker
Ah yes how silly of me
WellThatsOriginal
Great! Now I'm hungry.
Jeffsway
That doesnt look good to me
JustDaShoemaker
I'm not telling you what to eat, or what to like. You'd be amazing if you could channel all that negativity into something important.
SonRexsmith
Jeffsway
It would be real fucking amazing if you channeled all that energy you put into this comment into something other then harping on my opinion
JustDaShoemaker
Ha that's funny I didn't even downvote naw the great thing is you can post whatever you like and we don't have to like the same stuff
Leinkugel
Well aren't you just a bundle of joy today.
JustDaShoemaker
It would be boring if we did but whatever, that's your thing
elinerose
Why does this make me feel so uncomfortable? I can't wrap my mind around taking a bite of that sea spider!
JustDaShoemaker
Life is too short not to try new things
elinerose
I would keep expecting it to move haha
JustDaShoemaker
Try eating a live baby octopus, it fights you on the way down : P

I see you too like to live dangerously.

why bread and deep fry something that has a shell?
AverageEverydayPeasant
"Hey bill, I wanna eat this crab right now" "But I don't got no boiling water" "Don't care, just fry it" "K."
QuartzBeer
I feel sorry for people who can't get good seafood.

Soft Shell Crab Explained : After the crab sheds its shell you cook the crab, this is soft shell crab.

What an asshole reply
malevolentmoose
Because breading and frying is delicious!
PanicAtTheCostco
Damn you are missing out if you've never tried this
sasquatchyetti
Because it's soft
ifitdoesntmakesenseitwontmakedollars
It's not really a shell. You can eat the whole thing.
suckmycobb
aleister94
That what I keep saying but people get mad at me for eating crawfish in the shell
ThirstyTrollTranslator
Also adding that you can eat shrimp shells without issue as well
MOTHERFUCKINGLUCIFERMORNINGSTAR
Tried it and I'm not a fan. However, it doesn't really stop me so...
neffle
Doesnt mean it is pleasant to do so :(
ThirstyTrollTranslator
Yeah, a lot of western countries don't like it but I'm into it
icookfoodandfightfire
when its done right youd never know you were eating them
neffle
What constitutes done right? They leave the tail on which is a lot of crunch, Ill eat it in sushi. But shrimp cocktail, no.
ImFunnierThanYallGiveMeCreditFor
Really?! Hmm
OtherRichard
Had it last year at a landrys it was god damn delicious
AveragegamerdudeBANNED1
NOT THE PLATE!!! STOP EATING THE PLATE! STAPH!
IyoKnight
"Lemme get a bit of the chair at least" - said with half a plate sticking out of their mouth.
AliBarber
Um staph is significantly different to stahp which I assume you were aiming for
anicollesmith
I was guessing they meant "staff" ? But you're right, probably meant "stahp"
drowninginthesouth
Lol
somethinglikeausername
The fins crisp up like bacon!
StubbyJohnson
I don't think you know what a crab is.
TheAlcoholEnthusiast
"softshell" means it molted recently. Got too big for the shell it was in and got rid of it to grow a new one. It basically shelled itself.
NSATailoredAccessOperationsUnit
The crab is still in the shell
TheAlcoholEnthusiast
technically, but it's soft and not at all shell-like
