It's the bottom-feeding kind!

It looks like a regular local crab just like the ones seagulls pull out of the sand at low tide here. Then the gulls go Benihana on the crabs.
 
I'm not going to discuss my dislikes. Those pretties were for Master Acid. I'm worried he hasn't said anything yet. Maybe he fainted.
 
Have to drive 60 miles for crablegs, and then available only on Friday nite! Haven't got to go in a couple, maybe three weeks. Think I'm going into WITHDRAWL!!!

The lobster tank at my local food store is a high point in the weekly shopping expedition for my kids. Once I showed my 9 year old daughter that one lobster was feeding upon another dead one in the tank. She won't be ordering any for dinner any time soon.
 
The most common way of killing a lobster is by placing it, live, in boiling water. (This method is also used to kill crayfish, crabs, and shrimp.) This is controversial because some people believe that the lobster suffers. The practice is illegal in some places, such as in Reggio Emilia, Italy, where offenders face fines of up to €495
 
And I suppose that they think they they suffer less when driving a Chef's knife through them to split them in half when they are crawling around is any less suffering to the lobsters, eh?

I had to do that back at PA Culinary Institute, as everybody else in my group wouldn't do it. I worked with a bunch of p's.

You HAVE to get your shellfish live to use, as as soon as they die, there digestive juices start eating them from inside their shell outward.
 
This topic makes me think of Sebastian from The Little Mermaid. If Sebastian had been tossed into the pot I bet a lot of children who watched would grow up to be like Master Acid and Moribundman. What I mean is, they wouldn't dine on crustaceans...

Better make sure she doesn't see what cows, pigs, and chickens are eating these days then.

Mark, nobody forces you to buy meat and animal products from factory farmed animals. There are plenty alternatives.

That's true, I was just pointing out that getting bent about what lobsters eat is silly, considering what other things we eat consume.
Of course, she's just a kid still.
As for me, I'm a supreme hypocrite, because I eat beef and poultry and pork and consciously don't think about what happened to the beasts between the time they're born and the time I eat their flesh.
But having admitted that, it is a shame the way most meat animals are treated in this country.
That won't be changing anytime soon.
