Soft Shell Crab Presale
The whole deal with soft shell crabs is this: Blue crabs molt their hard exoskeleton to grow, replaced by new, soft shells, but these new shells harden within hours, leaving a small window when the crabs can be harvested for eating. We'll be ordering whale-sized soft shell crabs from Maryland — Chesapeake Bay to be precise. (They're not as big as a whale; "whale" is just the name for the largest soft shells.)
Soft shell crabs are a unique culinary experience, typically prepared so that the entire crab is edible. The inedible parts — gills, abdomen, mouth — are removed before cooking (and before you pick them up), leaving only the crab's meat and its shell. Speaking of: The shell is soft and pliable and completely safe to eat.
When deep-fried or sautéed, you can bite directly into the crab and enjoy the contrast between the crispy exterior and the succulent meat inside — and they are truly amazing on a bun with lettuce, tomato, and remoulade. There's no need to remove any part of the crab; it's a dish that's intriguing and delicious and meant to be enjoyed whole, offering a taste of the sea in every bite.

Marczyk Catering
What you see above is our Antipasto Platter, an amalgam of meats, cheeses, and additional delicacies such as artichoke hearts, dried tomatoes in olive oil, a selection of olives, and other lovelies that we may add. We slice all of the meats and cheeses to order and assemble each platter by hand. For our vegetable platters we cut whole heads of fresh broccoli and cauliflower, whole bell peppers and cucumbers, so you can truly enjoy their flavors. We challenge ourselves to source the most outstanding ingredients we can find. If you'd like to make an impression, order one of our platters.
