How to make panko crusted soft shell crab po' boy

• In a deep heavy-bottom pan, heat 1 inch of peanut oil over high heat. You want the oil to cover the crab 1/2 way
• Dredge cleaned soft-shell crab in flour, coating all side
• Dip floured crabs into beaten eggs and then dredge into panko breadcrumbs, coating well
• Reduce heat to medium and place the soft shell crabs into the pan
• Fry crabs until golden brown and cooked through, turning a few times so as not to burn
• Drain the crabs on paper towels using a rack

• Warm the bread for the sandwich in the oven for about 3 minutes
• Remove the bread from the oven. Slather mayonniase on both sides
• Lay a small hand-ful of greens on the bottom of the sandwich and top with one of the crabs
• the legs will hang over the sandwich--this is a good effect and allows you to nibble on the legs first
• Next add sliced cherry tomatoes, sqeeze fresh lemon juice over sandwich, and garnish with scallions
• Salt and Pepper to taste, and dig in. I like a nice chilled glass of beer with my sandwich
