Worth noting that the species of crabs is invasive from North America and they are hugely popular as a food item here. They’re not forcing themselves to eat garbage-tier crustaceans to make some kind of statement.

Crabs and lobster are basically giant ocean bugs. I don't like blues, though, because there's not much meat on them.

Enough meat in a lobster bug to feed my fat ass.

Yeah, a lobster is a meal. But to get the same amount of meat out of a blue you'll have to pick a half dozen of them.

I laughed and then thought about all the fish populations we are fishing away. I thought, foolish modern humans… the I reflected that we probably helped the megafauna into their extinctions… so we really are great at it. Big brained persistence runners were a fucking mistake.

Every species is an invasive species if you go back long enough
