Detailed description is Soft shell Season is here NOW. June is the best time to get Soft shell Crabs, then there is usually a short July drought. So stop by today. If you enjoy eating Soft Shell Crabs, we have them! at least when they are in season. And that season is NOW. For most of the month of June I buy shedder crabs from the local commercial crabbers and keep them in tanks until they shed out of their old smaller shell and come out with a completely soft new shell. When they are shiny and plump I pull them out of the water and refrigerate them so they are ready to head off to your House, Seafood Store or Restaurant to be cooked into a tasty treat.. . During the first June "Shedder Run" quantity is virtually unlimited, during this time many of my crabs are shipped to market and you may have already eaten them anywhere in the NJ, Pennsylvania Area. Many Local Restaurants come in and pick them up here and are serving Softshells Fresher by Days. If you have a seafood Shop or want to searve them in your Restaurant please give me a call, you will be glad you did.. . Usually after a brief dry spell thru much of July a smaller but steady supply of Softshell Crabs are avaialble.. . I have been working with the crabs for just about twenty years which may explain why I am so "Crabby" they keep on shedding 24 hours a day and must be removed from the water about an hour after they shed or they will harden up and go back into their usual hard crab state. When they split open their shell and begin the actual shedding process they become very vurnable and must be separated from their "Greener" more agressive tank mates. . . Softshell Crabs are sold by sizes and devided as follows:. . Hotels - are the smallest Crabs not often encountered from the local crabs because New Jersey has a minimum of 3" for shedder crabs and almost all of the crabs caught are females which will be maturing.. . Primes - These are the smallest crabs I typically encounter and are especially good if you like your crabs fried up chrispy or on sandwiches.. . Jumbos - These are the most common crabs that I sell in this area. Perfect for any dish you desire. . . Whales - If you want the fattest juciest crabs this is what you want. About the size of a #1 hard crab these crabs really fill a plate. Unfortunately my supply of TRUE WHALES is usually limited and they are most common towards the end of the shed. I am proud of the culling of my crabs so I will only offer them when I can provide the best.. . So stop by anytime to take a look at the operation and when the shed is in full swing I can pull your crabs directly out of the water, or even better you can actually watch them shed out of their shells.
