Soft shell crab ...

So tonight we tried cooking soft shell crab ...

We bought them frozen from The Fresh Fish Place in Port Lincoln.

I Googled to find a few recipes ...

to get some ideas.

If you need to clean the crabs here was a short You Tube clip ... I discovered that we needed to clean ours :-)

We ended up coating our whole soft shell crab with a product sold through The Fresh Fish Place in Port Lincoln, by a company called Squid Inc ... lemon and pepper seasoning.

John shallow fried the whole soft shell crabs for a few minutes. I stir fried some capsicum, spring onions and brocollini with garlic, ginger, chilli and added a little bit of coconut milk at the end.

The photo doesn't look great but it tasted really good :-)
