Traditionally only a limited, seasonal treat, this coveted east coast delicacy can now be yours any time of the year thanks to our all-new Breaded Soft Shell Crab.

Starting with only the finest, responsibly harvested crab frozen fresh after catch, each is then fully cleaned, hand-battered with flour and a dash of cane sugar, and lightly seasoned in a mouthwatering blend of celery salt, paprika, and other spices. The crab is then perfectly par-fried and individually frozen once more to ensure the most ocean-fresh taste possible when it reaches your door. No additives. No preservatives.
