Been eating crabs my whole life, will be 75 this week. My grandfather was a crabber/oysterman for a living so I learned to pick crabs early. I live in Colorado now and visit back home in the fall usually for 4 weeks, plenty of time to get my fill.

In a restraunt called Chestnut St. Cafe here in Ohio which closed and is now a Imported brewing bar and restraunt. So I always think about the soft shelled crab they served everytime I have ever gone back to visit
Nothing could compare!

I love blue crab as well as most other kinds of crab. Steamed crab, crab cakes, crab louie, etc.

But I can't stomach soft shell crab.

I like every kind of crab except soft-shell. King crab is the best. We always have that on Christmas w/ beef tenderloin or prime rib.

Sadly, haven't found any prepared as well as in a local restaurant 30+ years ago!
