Soft Shell Crab Adventure

Last weekend we made mussels. Like the real, live thing. I learned how to remove their beards (?) and scrub them clean and that they are actually alive when you are cooking them.

So this weekend we tackled soft shell crabs because they are in season (they apparently have a short season so it was lucky for us that we thought of them at the right time). I worked up my courage and was talked into cleaning the crabs. I wanted/Jimmy convinced me I needed this new skill video taped. Jim offered to talk me through it and I agreed. He's a wonderful guy huh?  

Here is our soft shell crab adventure.



So there you have it. All that and I ate it with coleslaw.

The first time I watched this without sound. The next 4 times with the sound on. Bwa ha ha. And kudos to Jimmy for getting you to eat coleslaw.

i think i might be more impressed with the coleslaw than the crabs :)
