Eater Charleston has new update
2 days ago It’s Officially Soft Shell Crab Season in Charleston

Soon, softies will be on every menu in the Lowcountry As spring lands in the Lowcountry, every chef anticipates one very important text message: “Local soft shells have arrived!” Chef Thai Phi of Pink Bellies (595 King Street, Charleston) got word from Crosby’s Fish & Shrimp Co. this morning that the local delicacy is here. He plans to offer a fried softie sandwich special when his restaurant reopens on Thursday.
Soft shell spotting has become almost a sport in Charleston. It’s basically March Madness for crustaceans, pitting restaurants against each other to see who will have the crabs in first. Every mid-March, devotees of the softie put out feelers on social media and fastidiously check menus for signs that the crabs have arrived. Seasoned pros know to look toward stalwarts like the Grocery (4 Cannon Street) or FIG (232 Meeting Street) because they usually get first pick at the supply.
As the short-season delicacy appears on local restaurant menus, we’ll put together an extensive map with descriptions of the dishes. If you see a softie, send a note to carolinas@eater.com.
