Japanese snack Soft shell crab with Eggs, Strong Ocean flavor Otsumami #092
This time I have tried Tamago Gani Soft shell crab with Egg.
At first, I thought it's Soft shell crab with spicy cod roe,
but actually it was just sweet eggs.
Very strong Ocean smells with sweet sauce,
I did not like it much, but if you love ocean smell food you might like it.
It was 400 JPY 4 USD at Donquijote in Japan!!

Garlic Beer-Battered Soft-Shell Special
Tonight’s menu presents cleaned & dressed Soft-Shell Crabs in a Beer-Battered Sauté Recipe.???????? A Chef Jeff Exclusive Video
It takes a true crab lover to dine on the entire crab as an entrée or sandwich! Diners rave over the beer battered salty-sweet taste of the soft-shells in the Garlic Beer-Battered Soft-Shell Special. Follow these easy steps to prepare your own dish. 1) Whisk two organic eggs with whole milk and set aside. Prepare the garlic-vegetable mix: Dice four plum tomatoes & a sweet onion. Chop three garlic cloves and parsley. Combine all seasonings/vegetables together and set aside. 2) Dip soft-shells in the egg/milk mixture and then coat with Soft Crab Batter from J.O., a Baltimore MD brand. Repeat the dipping and coating for a thicker breading. 3) Carefully place the crabs in a hot skillet with extra virgin olive oil. Add the seasonings/vegetable mix. Sauté for 3 minutes per side creating a golden-brown crust. Carefully sauté vegetable/seasoning mix and set on top of the crabs. This combined cooking adds flavor to the soft-shells. 4) Pour your favorite beer on each crab to give the crabs a hoppy flavor that complements the succulent-salty taste. Cook for another 3 minutes per side. 5) Plate and savor this unique dish for the true crab lover!
Nashville Hot Soft-Shell Crab
Nashville Hot chicken was made famous by Princes Hot Chicken and Hattie B’s and if you’re ever in Music City I highly suggest trying at least one of em. This dish is inspired by that chicken… minus the chicken. The folks at Hattie B’s were nice enough to let me in on a few of their secrets including how they bread their chicken.
For those who are unfamiliar with soft shell crabs, definitely watch this video for the full rundown but in a nutshell (crabshell?); soft shells aren’t so much a type of crab as they are a “time” of crab. Crabs molt, you know like reptiles. But instead of shedding there skin, they migrate to the marshes and warmer waters where there shell softens and has time to grow. So in the beginning of spring, these guys hang out in marshes where theres less predators so they have the time and safety to grow. When they put on some extra pounds they head back into the colder waters where the cold firms up their shell and they’re crabs again.
