I am always 2nd guessing when I prep out crabs. I had high hopes for this one, but,,,,, you can never know for sure till you get lots of the crab rock removed. This one was in two halves and glued back together. Lots of glue to get through and at first once I put in about 4 hours or so it wasn't looking too good. Also, I cant see a rear end on this thing. That's always bad in my book. I knew there was more leg on the left side, just wasn't sure where or how good they might be? Wasnt sure at all about the legs on the right side either? In this first pic all I had was 3 legs. Some leg is always better than no leg, but for me, I want all 8 of them! Doesn't happen too often. Heck, almost never! Part of the carapace was also in the upper part of the rock being that the crab was somewhat sticky when my youngest son 'wacked' it open. So it looks a bit beat up. I can fix that though. I don't like having to 'fix' things, but that's the way it goes sometimes. RB
