Steps:
- For the slaw: Whisk together the ketchup, red wine vinegar, celery salt, kosher salt, black pepper and cayenne in a large bowl. Add the cabbage and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours before serving. Taste for seasoning just before serving.

- If the crabs have not been cleaned by the fishmonger, clean them (procedure below) In a baking dish large enough to hold the crabs in one layer whisk together the oil, the garlic, the old bay seasoning, and the scallions and the crabs, turning them to coat well with the marinade. Let the crabs marinate, covered and chilled, turning them occasionally, for 2 hours. Grill the crabs on a oiled rack set 4 inches over glowing coals, brushing them with some of the marinade, for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they turn red and crisp. Transfer the crabs to the english muffin halves and sprinkle them with the oregano.

SPICY MARINADE FOR SOFT-SHELL CRABS
This is spicy but tasty. You can use a commercial creole seasoning mix, but I use my homemade seasoning which is posted here on 'zaar. The crabs can be served as is with your desired accompaniments, but I like them best in a sandwich on a kaiser roll with tomato and mayo. yum!
