It’s the season we wait all year for 🦀
Chesapeake Bay soft shell crabs are here, and at Bas Rouge we treat them with the reverence they deserve. Watch James Beard Award-winning Chef Harley Peet share his respect for the crabs themselves — and for the watermen whose hands and hard-won knowledge make this fleeting season possible.
Soft shell season is short, the work behind it is relentless, and the result is some of the finest seafood in the world. We’re honored to cook it.
