To me it is far better meat than a lobster and not many people would think to cook a lobster and toss it without eating the meat. You can probably find some good videos on YouTube.

I agree they'd lock you up in MD. I just made some sauce tonight, and the crabs lose all of the flavor into the sauce. When I took the crabs out I tried to get the meat, but it was very bland tasting. But the sauce was amazing.
In the outer banks, we stopped at a restaurant where a dozen steamed crabs was $50. Then when we went on a boat, we got 200 in 90 minutes of hauling in his pots. It was a LOT of fun, especially for my son.
