re: Soft shell crab help

Can someone post a recipe for fried that they use?
TIA.
And what's the best thing for me to do, get frozen soft shells? I LOVE them, so much. But have been afraid to make them because I've heard if you don't eat them in season they are terrible.

Fresh is definitely better than frozen, but at this time of year you probably don't have much choice. Nowadays when I fry soft shells, I deep fry them. Enough oil to cover them by a half inch or so. They only take about a minute or so this way. Just bread them the way you would do fried shrimp or crawfish. And you do know how to clean them, right?
If not, here's a video:
How to clean soft shell crabs
ETA: Also, don't clean them in advance. They'll lose too much moisture.
