I don't like crabs as food in general because you have to work too hard to eat them. I like my food to be sitting there, pliant, ready to eat, and not requiring the use of any arcane implements on my part. When I worked in D.C. people were crazy about blue crabs, I never saw the appeal. You go to a restaurant, with tables covered in butcher paper, they give you a wooden hammer, and you start hammering these dead beasts, spraying bits and parts all over the place, and in return you get 1/8 ounce of flesh. I did get to eat at Joe's Stone Crab in Miami once, I interviewed for a job with a firm and it was immediately obvious I was not suitable for the position, which made lunch much more enjoyable ("Okay, so we're not going to give you a job, but this meal is on the house, let's eat!"). It was really, really good. But if you order stone crabs in most of the rest of Florida you face the same ordeal, you have to work the hell out of the crab to get 1/8 of an ounce to eat. Why work so hard for a meal you have to pay for?
