I'm even more picky, I eat only blues and stones. Both of which are
present in the Gulf. Used to catch a lot of stone crabs in the Nueces
River near a dock the company I worked for had. Lots of concrete rip rap
along the shore and we could catch a couple of dozen anytime we went.
Plus they're a renewable resource, you take the one big claw and then
turn them loose to grow another. Still, it's very hard to beat the
flavor in Atlantic blue crabs.
