Fresh, alive and moving soft-shell crabs at Fairway market at $3.99 each … fry with canola oil, ginger, scallions and white pepper … over a bed of white rice … a cool glass of champagne … wow ….

There may be no bad way to prepare soft-shell crabs but when you put those fried crabs on bread, you have a take on the New Orleans poor-boy.
