Eastern Shore Soft Crabs

4 soft shell blue crabs

4 slices center-cut bacon

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup pancake mix

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Wrap each crab with a slice of bacon, then dip it into the eggs followed by the pancake mix.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the bacon-wrapped crab into the skillet, and cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
