Ur such a softy ya crabby bastard!!! Tell me how u feel

So once again its that time of yea...... It starts getting warmer, the boys where less clothing and so do the crabs!!! Oh yes..... its soft shell crab time. Soft shell crabs are blue claw crabs that have just finished molting there hard shell. The blue claw crab out grows its shell and shakes it for a thinner soft shell. This thiner shell will thicken up in time and back to being hard body blue boys we love. From the time they molt, you have about 4 days until they get back the hard shell. I guess you can see why its such a great time of year and you must get your crab fix ASAP. So this is the time i start plotting my attack on the soft shell crab world. Will it be soft shell crab Po-boys? or sautéed in a light flour and topped with capers and lemon juice? Maybe stir fry or oven roasted in a wood burning oven? OHHHH god maybe spider rolls or in a light tomato sauce.... The options are endless!!!!! OMG I cant wait!!!!! So until i see the box with my neat packed little crab lovers all comfortable in there straw beds my thoughts will not stop!!!

I want to know if you have a favorite soft shell crab recipe?? or some tip and trick!!! Cleaning them, prepping them... tell me, tell me, tell me!!!
