Soft Shell Crabs

Today I happened across an interesting bit of news. It’s officially soft shell crab season in New England. Only a few times a year can you get really great soft shell blue crabs. My boss told me the news today, and I couldn’t resist picking up a few and cooking them my special way.

What you need:

1. A large soft shell blue crab
2. An egg
3. Flower
4. Your favorite white wine
5. A stick of butter
6. Lemon
7. Garlic

Cooking them is real easy:

1. Melt the stick of butter in a frying pan with a minced garlic clove. Bring it to a simmer.
2. Mix up the egg really good in a bowl.
3. Dip the crab in the egg, and make sure you get an even coating.
4. Drop the crab into a plastic bag filled with flour and shake it around.
5. Take the crab out of the flower bag and drop it in the simmering butter.
6. Add a little wine and a little lemon on top of the crab as it cooks.
7. Cook it on 3 minutes, flip, and cook the other side on three minutes.

Done! The soft shell crab has a very delicate flavor and thus you must use butter instead of olive oil or even worse vegetable oil. I’ve cooked this dish many times and many different ways, and I truly believe this is the best soft shell crab recipe.

I was munching on one of these and surfing the net when I came across something interesting on Forbes: http://www.forbes.com/prnewswire/feeds/prnewswire/2007/06/26/prnewswire200706261100PR_NEWS_B_MAT_NY_NYTU039.html

Pretty cool. There’s actually a lot of press out there if you do a google search. It’s really amazing. And we’re selling pages every day, the most recent of which were Search Engine, Advertising, Plain Language, and Plain English.

Also, I’ve been working on a secret project to help get Million Dollar Wiki even more exposure. I’ll give you a hint: It involved video! So be on the lookout on Youtube and Revver and Imoondo and all the premium video websites out there. The video is going to be great!

Basically I’m going to relentlessly pursue every mode of exposure out there, and so far it’s definitely working!

Finally, I’ve started doing work on the from internet Cafes. They’re air conditioned, peaceful, and you really can’t beat the atmosphere. So if anyone is in the New Haven area tomorrow during the day and wants to drop by Koffee Too on audoban street and say hi, I’ll be there. G
