Ingredients

¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon milk
3 (4.5 ounce) soft-shell crabs, cleaned
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
1 tablespoon dill pickle juice
1 tablespoon Creole mustard
½ tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Combine flour and seafood seasoning in a resealable zip-top bag. Seal and shake to mix. Combine egg and milk in a bowl. Dredge crabs in egg mixture, then add to seasoned flour and shake to coat. Shake off excess when removing from bag.
Heat olive oil in a large saute pan or skillet over medium heat. Add crabs in a single layer and cook for 3 minutes; flip and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes more. Remove to a serving dish.
Mix mayonnaise, chives, pickle juice, mustard, seafood seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together for remoulade. Serve with crabs.
