Fried Soft-Shell Crabs

Dip the crabs in beaten egg, then in rolled bread dust seasoned with salt and pepper. Have the frying-pan hot and enough butter in it to keep the fish from burning. Fry as quickly as possible. All shell fish require rapid cooking, else the juice escapes and the food will be tough. They should cook in from eight to ten minutes and be of a deep red color when done.
