Soft shell crab sandwiches freak me out. I'm too scared to try one.

There ain’t nothing to be scared of, the shyt is fried in hot ass oil. If you a meat eater there really shouldn’t be anything you scared to eat, especially if you’ve ate hot dogs or anything like that. That’s barely even real meat

Is the shell still there but soft enough to chew through :ohhh:
Until right when you said that, I thought the same thing all these years. Now I actually will eat one


Soft-shell crab is a culinary term for crabs that have recently molted their old exoskeleton and are still soft.[1] Soft-shells are removed from the water as soon as they molt to prevent any hardening of their shell.[2] This means that almost the entire animal can be eaten, rather than having to shell the animal to reach the meat.[3] The exceptions are the mouthparts, the gills and the abdominal cover, which, though edible when shells are very soft, are usually discarded ("cleaned").[4] The remaining, edible part of the crab is typically deep fried or sautéed.[3]
