Soft Shell Crab Sandwiches

Soft Shell Crab Sandwiches

Serves 4.

• 1/2 cup flour (approximately)
• Old Bay Seafood seasoning
• 4 soft shell crabs, fresh or thawed, cleaned
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 4 sesame seed hamburger buns, toasted
• 1/4 cup tartar sauce

• Put the flour in a shallow bowl and season it with the seasoning. 
• Fill a skillet with oil to a depth of 1/2 inch and heat it over medium high heat until a pinch of flour
  foams instantly on hitting the oil. Reduce the heat to medium low. 
• Dredge the crabs in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess and cook as many as will fit in the
  oil at a time until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. 
• While the crabs are cooking put lettuce and tarter sauce on bottom half of each bun. 
• Drain fried crabs on paper towels and put on sandwiches. 
• Serve at once.
