It’s time to roll out the red carpet for soft shell crabs, a mid-Atlantic delicacy that becomes available when the Chesapeake Bay crustacean molts from its hard shell each year. D.C. chefs prepare the spring-to-early summer specialty all sorts of ways, from buttermilk-battered to grilled, and pop up on menus atop pastas, inside sushi rolls or sandwiches, alongside seasonal veggies, and more.
