Soft shell crabs

[SomeGuy]

Got some frozen soft shell crabs, planning to make soft shell crab hand rolls.

Anyone dealt with frozen soft shell crabs before? Just defrost and tempura (is that a verb?) with salt, flour and pepper?

Also DD is 21 months and doesn't like the sushi rice (too sticky?) and doesn't much like raw fish either. I could make smoked salmon nigiri but she'll just squish up the rice and only eat the smoked salmon. Any suggestions for toddler sushi?

I'm not a big fan of the soft shell tbh. i'd prefer no shell at all, and so would DC.

I am not actually sure what soft shell crabs are. I presume they are not the ones that infest one's nether regions....

(Look, it's late on a Friday night and drink has been taken...)

speak for yourself, SGB....
