The Best Soft Shell Crab Dishes Around D.C., According to Eater Editors | Eater DC

"The hyperlocal eatery in Chevy Chase currently pairs Maryland soft shell crab with braised leeks, trout roe, and a fennel celery salad. Its new family-friendly sibling Elena James also does a softies dish with avocado tartar cream, frisee lettuce, and mushroom vinaigrette. Both entrees are $31 each." - Tierney Plumb
