and watching other critters eating them..My theory on raw oysters is that it wasn't bravery at all... most likely starvation and an inability to get a fire going.

Not Crotch Crickets!
Have you seen Jackass?
Before steaming they show shades of blue on the claws and fins
Atlantic Blue Crab, way tastier than Dungeness IMO. We used to bring them in by the bucket load when growing up in Florida

I Like Dungeness a lot, but Alaska King is really my fave, it's kinda spendy but worth it!
not to one up, but this is better, IMO....more work (less meat) but much sweeter tasting..

It isn't so much the sweetness for me, but I'd love to try that crab, just can't get it here unless it's air freighted in (which won't make it cheaper!). There is an Alaskan Blue Crab as well, which I stand a bit better chance of finding.
With my daughter being allergic to all fish/shellfish, it's just easier for me to not have a taste for seafood.

You owe it to yourself to give it a try - That Blue Crab looks great!
No, but I visit in the Orlando area as much as possible. I was never a big seafood fan to begin with so it's no real sacrifice. Full disclosure: I will eat a Mickey D filet-when they're on sale.
Yeah, growing up in Miami, there was a restaurant* my oldies liked that had an outstanding Deviled Crab. Loved that. Having gotten out of eating sea critters, I don't wanna pay for something I'm not gonna like. Or, worse yet, finding something expensive that I do like.
*New England Oyster House-long gone chain. Kinda like Lum's, also long gone
