Preheat the fryer. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg, flour, cornstarch, soda  
water and salt. Blend until smooth. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes to  
rest. Using the back of a French knife, crack the crab shell and expose the  
meat. In a food processor, combine all of the tartar sauce ingredients  
except for the olive oil. Pulse until smooth. With the machine running,  
slowly add the olive oil in a steady stream. Season with salt and pepper.  
The mixture should be thick. Dip the exposed meat part of stone crab in the  
tempura batter. Fry the stone crabs for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until  
slightly golden−brown. Remove the stone crabs from the oil and drain on a  
paper−lined plate. Season with salt and pepper and serve with the tartar  
sauce. This recipe yields 4 servings.
