Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons coarse salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 medium soft-shell crabs, cleaned
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges
Celeriac Salad

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a large shallow dish. Dredge crabs in seasoned flour, tapping off excess; set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and oil to skillet. When butter has melted, add crabs and cook until deep golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer crabs to a prepared baking sheet to drain. Sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
