Best Crustacean?

To look at, crabs, to eat, prawns.

I like prawns especially the tiny ones, served in a prawn cocktail, coated with Thousand Island Dressing, in a cocktail glass lined with a crisp iceberg lettuce leaf. Yum!

Then I like the crab claw from the Chinese restaurant, a bulbous piece of crab meat coated in a delicious cross between batter and crumbs, dipped in plum sauce.

To look at, crabs are king. They can be so beautiful and so interesting. I recently read an article where Hermit Crabs lined up in order of size to pass down shells, a crab op shop. http://io9.com/hermit-crabs-line-themselves-up-from-biggest-to-smalles-1658024735

Then what could beat the wonderful spectacle of Christmas Islands red crabs marching in their thousands to the see. The even close roads so they can pass. Amazing. http://www.christmas.net.au/experiences/red-crab-migration.html

A 'Muddie' of course!
Nothing like a crab sandwich, with freshly buttered bread, crabmeat, p&s with fresh lemon juice squeezed over!

Prawns, blue swimmer crabs, mud crabs, bugs and lobsters. All are welcome on my plate

I love most of them -perhaps prawns -I cannot be bothered with crab as too difficult to eat even though I like the taste -LOVE crayfish.
