He shares his scrumptious ideas for preparing soft shell crab, New Orleans style. For his soft shell crab poor-boy ("po boy in the South), he dips the crab in a milk and egg mixture, coats it in a flour and cornmeal blend, and fries it in gently bubbling oil. He serves the fried crab on toasted Italian or French bread with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise and hot sauce.
