I would commit bloody murder for some king crab right now. I haven’t had lobster since New Year’s 2000, mostly because in restaurants I can’t pass up crab for lobster. But man, would I like to have some again.  
I’m an expert crab deconstructionist, too. I almost never use the cracker, and instead wield a fork expertly and split open the shells. I almost always get the meat out in one giant delicious piece.  
Mmmmmm crabsssss

I don’t order lobster, because crab is better. I am convinced the only reason why people like lobster is because it costs so much and so they _think_ it tastes good. The meat is too tough. Crab is far better. Better texture, better taste.
