I just paid $18 for a breaded and deep fried one over field greens at Scuderia and, although I loved it, I felt it was pricey.

It is quite a lot better than the soft shell crabs at Great NY Noodletown, and I highly recommend it. I wasn't paying and don't know exactly what price they charged, but it was a banquet for 6 people and wasn't expensive. Mon Apr 13 02:19:18 -0700 2009 4588938 17058 Pan
