Oh yummy, I love crispy soft shell crabs!
I just learned a tip from Ming Tsai (popular East Meets West cook, his new show is Simply Ming)recently regarding deep-fried calamari. According to him, once the oil stops making sound, that's the time to dish out the calamari. Same thing as you mentioned, that's mean the water content has evaporated. Cool!
