Grilled and topped with a brown butter, onions, wine, and capers sauce. Absolutely delicious!

  That looks awesome right there!    I need to pick some up and give this a try.  Softshells are one of my favorite things.

One of my all-time favorite dishes - the "Godzilla" (soft-shell crab on a stack of fried green tomatoes) from Jacques Imo's in New Orleans...

They were awesome. I will be doing them on the grill from now on!

That is the most creative soft crab I have ever seen!

Haven't had one in over 30 years, since I moved from the Chesapeake area. 

Mouthwatering ! ! !

Very nice!!!!!

Bob, that looks great! No offense intended but I honestly think it's hard to beat a good deep fried softshell crab. In fact I had some in the freezer that got tossed out as a result of the power failure from Ida.
A crispy fried softshell crab poboy would be good right about now. There's a restaurant across the lake from me called "The Dakota" that serves an amazing deep fried softshell crab. I've had it many times with jumbo lump crabmeat on top with a side of their Lump Crabmeat and French Brie Soup(which I've made at home many times)that is amazing by itself but with the softshell crab is fantastic!

Great! Now I'm going to be thinking about this meal everyday until I can get over there!!!

And that my friend is why they make 37 flavors of ice cream!
I still remember the first time I had one like this. It was in a restaurant at the Massanutten Resort. I asked to speak to the chef. He came out and I told him how great they were. He actually shared the recipe with me. And they are my favorite still. I still eat them deep fried if that is all that is being offered.
Hope you get some soon!
