The weather has warmed and watermen have begun their annual harvest of Soft Shell Blue Crab.  Shortly after molting, these crabs are packed and flown out to us where they arrive at our restaurants alive and kicking several days a week.  Each crab comes out of the water at the peak of tenderness ready to be enjoyed!
