Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp chopped fresh chives
1 tsp chopped fresh tarragon
6 slices thick bacon
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
4 soft-shell crabs, cleaned
1/3 cup vegetable oil
4 soft sandwich buns, toasted
2 ripe tomatoes , cut into 8 thin slices
4 leaves green lettuce

Directions:

Mix the mayonnaise, chives, and tarragon in a small bowl; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes.
Transfer to paper towels to drain.
Cut each strip in half to make 12 pieces total.
Pour out and reserve the bacon fat; wipe the skillet clean with paper towels.
Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
Whisk the eggs in a shallow dish.
Mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a second dish.
Dip each crab in the eggs, then in the flour to coat completely.
Transfer to the baking sheet and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to set the crust.
Heat the oil and reserved bacon fat in a large skillet over med-high heat until the oil shimmers.
Carefully add the crabs to the skillet (the crabs could splatter, so be careful).
Cook until the undersides are golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Using a thin slotted metal spatula, turn the crabs and cook to brown the other sides, about 3 minutes.
Using the spatula, transfer the crabs to paper towels to drain briefly.
Spread the buns with the herb mayonnaise.
Top each bottom bun half with a crab, 3 bacon slices, 2 tomato slices, and a lettuce leaf, then the top bun half.
Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
