One of the great benefits of living in the Mid-Atlantic is the availability of the blue crab. I was at Crosby Crabs and saw the soft shells in the case. I requested that they remove the lungs and other things and then took the good parts home. I went kinda Asian but mostly for flavors that would help the crab shine. I chose ginger, garlic, and some hot sauce. Now the batter. I wanted a light batter for shallow frying. Normally you would use club soda, but I used ginger ale. I hope you like it.
