With other food items, 1 per head unless they are small. Then 2 per head.

Depends on how good the other prepared food will be

Right, they aren't all created the same. I'd say large 1 per, small 2 per.

Where are you ordering them from and how much do you anticipate paying…. I would say 2 per person as these days they tend to run on the small size….
Wish I had a friend like you soft shell crabs/Poboy or over pasta is one of my all time favorites….enoy and post some pictures

I would get 20.
ETA. I use to get 2nds (missing legs, smaller crabs, or ones that started to get a little firm) from a guy that crabbed for $1 a piece....... this was about 10-12 years ago. He still crabs but his wife passed and they don't do the soft shells anymore. I miss them $1 softshells

Yep. The wife and I were at the Westwego Seafood Lot about 2 months ago and they had fresh soft shell crabs for $10 each and they weren't worth bragging about.

Idk what they cost raw.
I had a sandwich at Dewey Destin’s a few months ago and it was $16.50 with a side. It had two small crabs. Seemed like a good price.

I love me some softshell crabs Red.

1.5 per person, 27 total, heck just round it to 30. You will have enough and a few leftover.
Posted on 7/27/24 at 1:15 pm to VoodooVibes
if you do 1 pp you better hand them out LOL. Because I would absolutely take two

St Mary Seafood ...Mr. Edgard of Swampeople fame..in Franklin sells fresh #1's for $60/dz and frozen #2's for 40 dozen..They are the best purveyors of soft shells in the state!

we get them from the farmers market at Pennington sometimes and its pretty hard not to eat at least 2 after theyre all fried up

Depending on how you batter them they almost always come out looking larger post-fry, so there's that. I would kill for #1s at $60. Last time I was at Schaefer's in Bucktown I believe they wanted $14 per.
And unless you know all your guests there may be some that won't eat a softshell. Typically I'm one to convince someone to at least try an unfamiliar food, but when I comes to softshells staying mum means more for me!

You could also offer an option to have them on a sandwich or poboy to make more filling.
