Fried Soft-Shell Crab

Cracker crumbs give fried soft-shell crab a wonderful zip.

Have a dish of cracker dust mixed with a little pepper and on the stove a pan half full of smoking hot fat; beat two eggs, roll the crabs in the crumbs and dip them in the eggs, then roll them again in the crumbs and put in the hot fat to fry. Take them out with a skimmer, lay on brown paper to free them from grease and serve them while hot.
