I bet the crab doesn't "feel good" about it.
I tried them last weekend in Homosassa Springs and thought they were okay, but I wouldn't fly across country for them. Mine were cracked and served with melted butter. In 3 days, I ordered stone crab, scallops, clams, shrimp and grouper. Think maybe I'm a seafood lover?
