Soft Shell Crabs

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons coarse salt, plus more for sprinkling

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

4 medium soft-shell crabs, cleaned

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges

Celeriac Salad

Preparation

Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a large shallow dish. Dredge crabs in seasoned flour, tapping off excess; set aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and oil to skillet. When butter has melted, add crabs and cook until deep golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer crabs to a prepared baking sheet to drain. Sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
