I am a fan of everything that you presented here. It looks very appealing and I am sure that it was delicious. I have to come back to France to cook sth with crabs (here – too expensive). have a nice evening…

I love what you’ve done with the homeless crab. I love them but have only ever eaten them in Japanese-inspired dishes. As usual, your flavor pairings are fabulous!

Silvia, don’t feel too bad for homeless crabs! Now I feel bad that I didn’t feel bad for them. It’s getting more confusing haha. Love your presentation so much!

I like the fennel too. It goes well with seafood!

I totally know what you mean! I feel sad for the little crab too … I guess I’m a bad person because that doesn’t stop me from gobbling him up like the Big Bad Wolf. Beautiful dish!

Silvia…at first the title made me think you could write a children’s story book about the poor little crab without his home. Alright, just an initial child-like impression.

Soft shell crab is often used in Sushi and I’ve been honestly avoiding it since my first bite. It probably had not been prepared the way you describe it. I’ll have to maybe give it another chance.

Now…grilled radicchio and fennel…with that sumptuous chick pea sauce…now your talking my language ;o)

Beautiful photo and presentation.
Flavourful wishes,
Claudia

Oooh! Honestly, soft shell crabs give me the willies LOL It’s a textural issue. But, anything you do, I would willingly try. I trust your taste and kitchen sensibility implicitly! Besides, it looks too damned good to refuse
