Steps:
- To make the green goddess dressing: Simply puree the ingredients together in a blender, until light green and creamy. Cover and stick the dressing in the fridge to allow the flavors to come together.
- To prepare the soft-shell crabs: Pour the buttermilk in a shallow bowl large enough to hold all the crabs. Season the buttermilk with crab boil seasoning, salt, and pepper. Lay the crabs in the buttermilk mixture and marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 hour; soaking the crabs in buttermilk helps plump them up when cooked. Remove the crabs from the milk bath and let the excess drip off.
- Pour 2 inches of oil in a heavy frying pan or large pot and heat to 350 degrees F.
- Put the flour in a pie dish or plate and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper. Dredge the crabs in the seasoned flour to coat, shaking off the excess. Lay the crabs in the hot oil in a single layer without crowding; you may have to fry them in batches. Be careful, the crabs have a tendency to pop and spatter. Cook the crabs for about 3 minutes on each side, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- To assemble the salad: combine the watercress, lettuce, and onion slices in a mixing bowl. Pour in 1/2 cup of the green goddess dressing, tossing to coat. Arrange the salad on a serving platter, put the fried crabs on top, and grate the hard boiled egg over the whole thing. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.
FRIED SOFT-SHELL CRAB
These crabs are fried to a light crisp, and you can eat the whole crab. It is my favorite food.

Steps:
- Clean each crab. Lift one pointed side of top shell and remove the gills by pulling them out. Put top shell back down and repeat on other side. On the bottom side remove tail flap by twisting and pulling off. Using a pair of scissors, remove the face by cutting behind the eyes. Rinse the crabs thoroughly with cold water. Dry on paper towels.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F (180 degrees F). In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk using a fork. In a separate bowl, stir salt and pepper into the flour. Lightly salt the crab, then dip in the flour, dip in the egg, then in the flour again.
- Carefully place crabs into the deep-fryer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown on one side. Carefully turn over, and cook until golden on the other side. Drain on paper towels. Serve as soon as they are cool enough to eat. You can eat the whole crab.

SOFT-SHELL CRABS WITH SPICED CUCUMBER SALAD
As we started tasting the German- and Czech-style American pilsners, Eric Asimov said he'd like a hot dog. No need to stop there. Spicy or fried foods, many kinds of seafood and fish, and barbecue suit these golden, refreshingly bitter beers. I chose soft-shell crabs, crisped with an Indian-style chickpea-flour crust and served over spiced cucumbers. Buy the crabs alive, not frozen. Fish markets will take care of killing and cleaning them. Keep the crabs refrigerated and use them by the next day.The crabs are sold by size, but most markets do not offer choices. You will usually find the larger ones, called "jumbos," which have bodies 5 to 5 1/2 inches across. This recipe is designed for jumbos, with two per person as a main course or one each in a picnic-ready sandwich on a bun slathered with chili-fueled mayonnaise and layered with cucumber salad. Pour another brew and dig in.

Remove from heat, add vinegar and stir. Rinse and drain cucumbers, place in a shallow serving bowl and fold in shallot mixture. Sprinkle with mint.
- In a bowl, lightly beat eggs with 1 tablespoon water. Mix chickpea flour and curry powder, and spread on a plate. Dip crabs in egg, then in flour mixture. Heat remaining oil in a large skillet. Add crabs and sauté over medium-high heat until lightly browned, turning once. You may need two shifts. Remove from pan and arrange on cucumber salad.
- Serve, with red chili mayonnaise on the side, or serve on buns spread with mayonnaise and piled with salad.

SPICY MARINADE FOR SOFT-SHELL CRABS
This is spicy but tasty. You can use a commercial creole seasoning mix, but I use my homemade seasoning which is posted here on 'zaar. The crabs can be served as is with your desired accompaniments, but I like them best in a sandwich on a kaiser roll with tomato and mayo. yum!
