I am not keen on crab as a food. I keep picturing them all skulking around on the sea bed picking at the decaying corpses of drowned sailors which is very off putting.I love a soft shell crab sandwhich.
I like sofy shell crab at the Chinese restaurant which have been eating dead sharks, the ones thrown overboard with fins cut off and full of murcury.
Drowned sailors don't have much or any murcury (other than teeth fillings) so not as tasty.
Crabs eat dead things, don't they? Like the vultures of the sea.Crabs apparently like human meat too but don’t often get the chance. Beware a hungry Japanese spider crab.
