Soft-Shell Crab, Cooked

Soft-Shell Crab, Cooked

EverydayCooked

Soft-shell crab refers to crabs harvested immediately after molting their hard exoskeleton, creating an entirely edible seafood that can be consumed whole. Typically battered and fried to highlight its delicate texture, this preparation features crisp outer layers contrasting with sweet, briny meat inside – most commonly using blue crabs during their summer molting season. While providing lean protein and essential minerals like zinc and selenium, cooked soft-shell crab dishes often carry higher fat content from frying and require consideration for shellfish allergies.
