I have some fresh ling and a friend is bringing me some fresh SS crabs this afternoon. What can I do with both of these items in combination? The lemonfish will no longer be fresh after tonight.
Need a creative idea, not necessarily a recipe. I'll post a thread on it, good or bad.

I got nothing. Can't figure a way to pair them.

I always just grill Cobia with Teriyaki marinade. Fry those softshells and have on the side

Hmm, why MUST they both be in one dish? Why not one as an app and another as entree? I love cobia, I'd want it to shine on a plate as the star. Ditto for softshells.
Line a ring mold w/cobia fillets, fill center with a simple fish mousse (put some fish, heavy cream, egg white, appropriate seasonings like chives, white pepper, etc in a food processor, whir until smooth), bake in a bain marie until set. Unmold, serve with a colorful sauce on the plate (pesto-ish herb puree, or a hollandaise spiked w/smoked paprika?).
Grill the softshells, basting often w/butter. Eat 'em all yourself when no one else is around so you won't have to share!

Subtle brag is not so subtle. I resent you.
I cook those so differently, I would make two different dishes. I love the crab pan fried, and the cobia grilled or paneed. Some toasted almonds over either or both would be where I would go-brown them and pour the browned butter over the crab. I love that almondine touch on SS crabs.

The softshelled crab we had at Dinner Lab over the weekend was incredible.
