We use to use chicken necks on monofilament fishing line to catch our own blue crabs. Unless you live in an area where blue crabs are, you'll have to get soft shells frozen. I have a friend who crabs commercially and he will give me softshells every now and then and frying them up for sandwiches is a treat. I've been eating softshell sandwiches my whole life, and I've eaten them in New Orleans, Baltimore, and points south along the eastern seaboard, but I've never heard of them smoked before frying. I've had them smoked, so maybe smoking them and then frying them would be worth trying. |

Any info? > Recipes? > > Canada Mike Mike, I wonder what else he might be smokin' in New Orleans. I doubt that its the crabs. Then to bread and fry? ?? Too odd. . .but: If you must try it, smoke slow over hickory for just 20 minutes. Remove, let cool, flour, egg wash, panko crumbs(or your favorite bread crumbs seasoned), and fry in hot oil 'til brown. Serve immediately. A sweet hot fruit salsa, or some horseradish cream to finish. Down it with Asti Spumanti if you use the sweet sauce. Good luck with it, Mike. Moo Pierre |
