Tried (Jason ..reelproperty..ordered them) them once then bought them twice. Out of the three times the best was in Venice.It's lunchtime and I'm wanting something:hungry:hungry Thanks Curtis.:bangheadGarbo (11/16/2007)Well that moves me into the current age.
So its Muddy Bottom at night.
I don't know how many people like them, but I love em. Fresh Fried Softshell will Hairlip ya.
I am very impressed.bigfishrookie (11/16/2007)The soft shells are from molting. Molting happens individually, not species wide at a single time, so it's 1 softy for every 20-30 hardshells. Keep in mind the carapace hardens in mere hours, ususally less than 8 depending on temp and nutrition.
A long time ago, there was a guy in downtown P-cola that bought crabs from the locals and he'd put them in indoor pens. I don't know the specifics but he'd sequence the lunar tide cycle with artificial lighting and temperature control, thus projecting molting times. He'd supply local restaurants with soft shell crabs. Can't beat that!

No wonder they are pissed off all the rest of the time.bigfishrookie (11/16/2007)It is a very traumatic endevour that expends nearly all of there energy- thus resulting in low defense.
