Every summer when I was growing up we would go to the beach for vacation. One activity that we enjoyed doing at the beach was crabbing. We would go to the bayside of the island and tie some chicken legs to our crabbing cage and then toss the thing into the water. We would wait about 15 minutes and then pull in the line to see what we caught. I still remember it fondly. Any keepers that we caught ended up in the steamer and were eaten with drawn butter. The crab meat was so sweet and tasty.
Today, I am presenting this soft-shell crab sandwich as a memory of that family tradition that we did together. I also want to thank @jaybird for hosting this contest! I am having so much fun with this!
Ingredients
- Soft-shell crabs
- fennel and fennel fronds
- lemon juice
- olive oil
- dijon mustard
- tartar sauce
- brioche buns
Make sure your crabs are still alive when you buy them.
Once you clean them by removing the lungs, face and the flap on the bottom, grill the crabs.
Start the assembly. Spread tartar sauce on the toasted brioche bun. Then add some fennel slaw.
Make sure to add a thick layer of the slaw. The flavor of fennel slaw with anise, lemon, olive oil and mustard go so well with the grilled crab.
Next add your grilled crabs. Add two crabs for extra crunch and flavor. The crab is actually the crunchy texture in this sandwich. Make sure the sandwich is loaded with crab!
Top it off with your toasted brioche lid and enjoy!
A glass of IPA and some Old Bay chips complete the meal.
Eat healthy for me is my priority and as more vegetables and fruits and see this sandwich and read this beautiful story that reminded me of my childhood when I went with my brothers to lift the crabs that crossed the road to reach the sea and to this day it's the most delicious thing for me
in this life I want this sandwich to eat it already
thanks @chefsteve for this beautiful post

OOOOoooooo...... I love soft shell crab! Okay, this is making me hungry, just in time for lunch :D
You live in the land of incredibly sweet crab! You will be OK!!
Yes! My hometown in East Malaysia is full of seafood and restaurants by the sea. :D
Oh yea, very cool creation my man!
Really like the soft shell crab idea here. Don't think we've seen much crab in SSC history and definitely not a soft shell crab sandwich like this!
BTW that fennel slaw sounds awesome! Really appreciate the childhood/fam memory for the theme!
Thanks @jaybird! really enjoying your contest!
Ohhhhh chef! Kill me. Kill me alreadyyyy! Hahaa Looks so damn goooood
Thanks Mo! You're the best!

Hey @ytrphoto! Thanks for checking out my post!!
That is one tasty looking sandwich @chefsteve. Thank you for the tip on purchasing the crab alive and how to clean them. Scissors are one of my favorite kitchen tools! Good luck.
Thank you @loveself!
Great entry @chefsteve - sadly I'm not a crab fan - I could maybe try with prawns sometimes - but your sandwich certainly is a winner
Thanks @pandamama! This sandwich would totally work with prawns. Great idea!
This looks amazing @chefsteve, I've never eaten soft shell crabs but your description sounds awesome!
Hi @lizelle! They are a real treat. So, different because you are eating the whole thing! Thanks for you comment.
