Probably by putting it in gutter oil or virgin boy piss. I don't eat that foul smelling diversity meat getting pushed on facebook because I am not ashamed to be white. Steak and a whisky, put some hair on your chest kid. You'll understand when you grow up.

It's just younger crabs or crabs that have recently shed their old shell.
The soft shell becomes the hard shell over time.
Just like with people.

You boil them in vinegar, that softens the shell and makes it almost gelatinous.

what leads you to believe this? have you ever cooked a soft-shell crab? Theyre definitely not cooked in any way shape or form.

>> No.14068081

Thats how we cook them to soften the shell. Crabs in pot and pour vinegar until the crabs are covered.
Rolling boil for 10 min. Soft shells.

no dude. when you buy them theyre raw and theyre already soft because theyre in the middle of a molting cycle. then you cook them.

They catch the crab after they shed their shell and before they grow back a new one

I thought crabs have to find other shells to live inside when they get rid of the old one?

Pretty sure I recall seeing that in several documentaries about the ocean and beach creatures

I just eat hard shell crab. The chitin adds a nice crunchy texture and I don't have to fumble around with the fucking shell, taking the meat out of it. shit's so good, too. You guys don't know what you're missing.

If u get them unprepared. Just cut the flap and remove the gills. Most of it is edible after u clean it. I'm not a fan of crabcake, but I love crab steamed or softies fried up.
