Delicious Chesapeake Bay Soft Shell Crabs

Hotel-sized, soft-shell blue crabs, packed individually into vacuum-sealed packages with 2 crabs per pack and about 4.0-4.5" in length (claw to claw). We source our crabs from the waters of the Chesapeake Bay's Eastern Shore, where the art of selecting shedding crabs for the perfect soft shell has been practiced by the local watermen for generations.

What are Softshell Crabs?

Soft shells are crabs that have molted (shed their hard shell). If caught within 12 hours of shedding, the crabs are very soft, therefore soft-shell crabs can be cooked and eaten whole, claw to claw (once the crabs are 'cleaned' after catching). Our Sizzlefish soft shell crabs are already cleaned, frozen, and individually wrapped when they arrive to your doorstep. Simply thaw out and enjoy!

How do I cook Softshell Crabs?

There are a variety of ways to cook softshell crabs with the most popular being to saute, air fry, or pan fry. Check out these recipes below for more inspiration and direction:

First time ordering, cooking and dining on soft shell crab. The crabs arrived perfectly frozen and were nicely packaged. We cooked the crabs according to the instructions provided by Sizzlefish. Delicious! My entire family loved them. I will be ordering again. Sizzlefish does a fantastic job providing fish to those who want the very best.
