Chesapeake soft shell crabs are a delicious and seasonal seafood delicacy that is perfect for a special occasion. These crabs are caught in the Chesapeake Bay and are known for their sweet and delicate flavor. They are also a great source of protein, making them a healthy and satisfying choice for any meal.

To prepare Chesapeake soft-shell crabs, you'll need to start by cleaning them. To do this, gently lift the top shell of the crab and remove the gills and any other debris inside. Next, cut off the face of the crab, just behind the eyes, using a pair of scissors. Finally, rinse the crabs under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
