Good Taste with Tanji - Wine, food and fun with Tanji Patton.

Soft shell crab is now in season…and one of the best places to sample some is at the Fig Tree on the River Walk. This gem has THE most romantic patio in the city! And the new tasting menu is a great way to experience some fabulous food and wine, at an inexpensive price. Every Tuesday and Wednesday, the Fig Tree offers a three course gourmet meal for $39 a person. If you want a special wine pairing with each course, it’s just $10 more per guest.

Chef Christopher Spencer prepares soft shell crab. Crisp and delicious, they are served with a buttery sauce. As you’ll see, soft shell crab is easier to prepare than you might think. And when you saute these, there is a secret to the flour you dredge them in. Pair soft shell crabs with a chardonnay…and enjoy!
