There are not many people who don’t like crabs.  Either cracking them right out of their shell or mixed with the other ingredients to make delicious crab cakes.  They are simply good eating. Although they are very popular, I often find many people have not had soft-shell crabs.  Their distinctive taste makes them a perfect choice for trying various sauces and marinates.  Fresh Fried Georgia Soft Shell Crabs with Sweet Pepper Salsa
