I decided to pull some frozen softs out of the freezer today. I dredged 'em up almost the way my mother remembers her mother doing it - with flour and that's it. I added corn meal and Old Bay to the dredging, then fried 'em up 2 minutes to a side in a buttered pan. Man, that's tasty food.
Since I had no white bread around - how Mom ate them when she was young, with either mayonnaise or mustard - I got innovative. Why not a warm corn tortilla with some sliced raw green onions?
Before...Simple, quick, delicious.
...and after.

Interesting, I've never had soft shells this way. Jumbo Seafood over on Stevenson does a great deep fried soft shell crab.
But the key is you have to heat the tortilla up first. I throw mine on the burner for about 5 to 10 seconds on each side.
