I was about to say, do the crabs taste good? I mean do people who like crab, most seafood makes me throw up. But in general, if you can market things correctly, humans will eat damn near anything into extinction.

Brother, I'm allergic to the damn things and I eat them.

No you don't understand. Even getting fish, crabs, and shellfish past my tongue without throwing up is almost impossible. My body refuses to acknowledge that the stuff is even remotely edible.

But the weird part? Shrimp are just fine. Also tuna salad but that barely counts.

Blue crab is basically the best tasting food there is IMO.

IMHO crab is the best sea food.
