Worth noting that the species of crabs is invasive from North America and they are hugely popular as a food item here. They’re not forcing themselves to eat garbage-tier crustaceans to make some kind of statement.
Crabs and lobster are basically giant ocean bugs. I don't like blues, though, because there's not much meat on them.
Enough meat in a lobster bug to feed my fat ass.
Yeah, a lobster is a meal. But to get the same amount of meat out of a blue you'll have to pick a half dozen of them.
I realized a long time ago I like crab for two reasons. (1) Butter and garlic delivery system, and (2) keeps my hands busy with all the cracking and poking.
