"Salt-Baked Soft Shell Crab at Great NY Noodletown — the crab is lightly battered, fried until the shell is crisp, and served whole. The salt-baking technique is a Cantonese method that renders the shell edible and the meat sweet."
"Seasonal soft shell crab is available when the market has it. The salt-baking technique ensures the crab is fully edible — legs, shell, all of it. The ginger-scallion dipping sauce is Cantonese textbook."
"I order this every time I see it on the menu, which is the only test that matters. The crab's sweetness is amplified by the crisp exterior. This is fine-dining technique at casual-pricing."
