  1. Very good! I love soft shell crabs and always have them in the freezer. I followed the other reviewers advice about the Old Bay seasoning. I added a tablespoon to the flour. They turned out great! Thanks!
     
  2. Cook time on the broiling is a little long-- the ends of the legs got slightly burned. Also a little more Old Bay seasoning (2Tbs) is a little tastier.
