Crispy soft-shell crab
Crispy soft-shell crab
Soft-shell crab is eaten whole. An almost invisible layer of flour makes its legs crispy without hiding the sweet meat.
Notes
Drying is essential for safety and crust: water makes the oil spatter. Fry in small batches and let the oil come back to 180°C. Check the internal temperature, since crab size can vary.
Crispy whole
Authenticity
Why it's worth it
Soft-shell crab from Bangladesh, harvested precisely when it molts, when the shell is still tender. This means it can be eaten whole, crispy fried, with no need for cleaning. A delicacy from Asian cuisine that is hard to find in Romania.
