Flour
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, and another 2 or 3 tablespoons
3 tablespoons oil
1-1/2 teaspoons salt

You will need a 12 to 14 inch skillet. Dredge the crabls lightly
with flour. Heat the butter and oil in the skillet tull quite hot.
Add the crabs and saute over moderate heat till they are delicately
browned on one side. Turn, and brown on the other side. Salt and
pepper to taste. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and transfer to a
hot platter. Melt additional butter in the pan, 2 or 3 tablespoons,
and pour over the crabs. Garnish with lemon slices. Serve with
a mustard or tartar sauce. Chablis goes very well with this.
