Pretty much this. Unless I'm doing something that completely ruins how I might appreciate the meal, leave me alone. Nothing good can come from putting me on the spot.
Now, if I ask for advice or a recommendation or how best to eat something (i.e., if I have never eaten blue crabs before and am doing it wrong), I'm open to constructive, tactful criticism.
