Blue crabs are tasty, but I find them to be a pain in the ass to pick.
Too little meat for too much work.

I noticed bags of blue crab claws for sale tho' at Fiesta the other day.
Can't recall the exact price but they were not bad.

What I was delighted to find were frozen bags of "Catfish strips" for
$1.99 per lb. They looked like whole fillets to me! I bought a bag but
have not cooked any yet. They also had frozen Tilapia fillets for $2.99
but I did not buy any.

Dad's been on this damed rotisserie chicken kick lately, so I've not had
to do any meat cooking. I'll be glad when it stops! That stuff is a
bit salty for me but the breast meat does make good spring rolls.

I'd rather he let me make roasted chickens. <sigh>

Snow crab is not bad, but I do like King better. :-) As you say,
differing tastes... and snow crab clusters have been cheap for awhile
now.
