Soft Crab: Usually deep-fried. Only crab i know that you eat *with* the shell. It's actually really nice. The shell taste a bit like fried chicken skin.

No, they have shed their shell and are harvested before forming another. If I recall, the process is called molting and the crabs are blue crabs.

These are standard fare in the mid atlantic region and very popular with thai and other asian restaurants as well as traditional seafood places.
