Was it Brendan Shine used to sing that one way back? :D

Seriously tho, commiserations, I'd've eaten the frigger raw for that.... there's a lot of them round the edges of the Black Rocks at the west end of Ballyquin, so no poking there.

theres plenty of flesh in the main body aswell - just not as handy as the legs - give it 15mins to break it down slowly - well worth the effort - just mind your fingers when your breaking it and teasing out the flesh!

the gluck can just be washed off - the flesh that comes out of the sockets goes further up a bit into the body cavity

tasty crabs for sure:) plently of meat in the claws, never took the meat out of the legs because there is plenty in the body and claws for 2 people, also a fan of the brown (king?) crab.
tasted out the claws with a finger,ouch! lesson learned:)
