Soft crabby Sundays at Matyson

POSTED: Tuesday, June 5, 2012, 11:45 AM

Soft-shell crabs, those succulent harbingers of summer, have scuttled up to Rittenhouse Square. Every Sunday this summer at Matyson (37 S. 19th St., 215-564-2925), chef Ben Puchowitz is featuring the freshly molted crustaceans on a four-course $35 pre-fixe menu. How they'll be prepared will change each week. For the inaugural menu this past Sunday, June 3, Puchowitz crusted soft-shells in cornmeal and served them over purple potato, corn and fava bean hash with a sick-sounding peach-kimchee puree. Here's the full menu. Reservations a must.
