For the soft shells
The soft-shell crab is lightly breaded (dipped in flour and well-seasoned with salt, pepper and SoDel Bay Spice) and flash-fried in a deep fryer at 350°. At home, this same preparation can be accomplished in a sauté pan coated with oil and preheated. The soft-shell crab will not be as crunchy, but it will be close and delicious.
