Oh yeah, it's what we wait for every year, soft shelled crabs. They are in season and delicioso! No pesky cracking of shells, no picking out the meat - just eat the whole succulent crab. One of our favorite places to go for them is Pico's Mex-Mex, where Arnaldo prepares the "Al Mojo de Ajo" - lightly breaded and pan fried in olive oil. They are very limited, so be sure to phone first for availability. Delivered live and fresh, you just can't get any better. So, scuttle on over to 5941 Bellaire Blvd. pronto. Enjoy a PicoRita Silver on the rocks, it comes in a shaker (the only place you get a rocks rita in it's own shaker - and it rocks). If the crabs are all gone - try the Chiles En Nogado, they are ridiculously delicious.
