This is a wonderful BLT sandwich with the addition of a crispy fried soft shell crab.
- Fry the bacon until almost crisp and drain on paper towels.
- Meanwhile fill a large saucepan or deep fryer 1/3 full of oil and heat to 350 degrees.
- Add the soft shell crabs to the evaporated milk, letting the excess drip off, then dredge in the corn flour. Shake off excess.
- Fry the crabs in the hot oil until golden and crispy. About 5 minutes.
- To assemble the sandwiches, split the ciabatta rolls and lightly toast, then spread each side with mayonnaise.
- Add a slice of pepper jack to each bottom roll, then 4 strips of bacon, a thick slice of tomato, then a soft shell crab.
- Top each sandwich with shredded lettuce, season with salt and pepper and add the top roll.
