Soft-Shell Crab Sandwich!!

Aside from lobster, soft-shelled crab are likely to be the highest priced item on any seafood menu. The reason is all about timing.

In order for a blue crab to grow larger it must periodically shed its hard shell. During this molting process the crab slides out of the hard shell and for a short period of about 3 to 4 hours is in a soft stage. If removed from the water at this stage, the shell will not harden.

In their natural environment, blue crabs begin shedding their shells on the first full moon of May and are harvested from April through September.
