Where to Still Spot Soft Shell Crabs Around D.C.
"Chef Darren Norris puts Japanese spins on the Chesapeake Bay delicacy at his Adams Morgan izakaya. Crispy soft shell crab joins sweet chili sesame mazemen (brothless ramen), scallion, beni shoga, and a heap of noodles for one filling entree ($25). On the sushi side, crispy soft crab stars in a Spider Roll ($18) with cucumber and avocado. A fried soft shell crab sandwich comes with house pickles, bang bang sauce, and wasabi fries. Order any from the basement Shibuya Eatery or up at its penthouse cocktail bar (Death Punch)." - Tierney Plumb
