I appreciate and enjoy eating both the Maryland Blue Crab and our native Pacific Coast Dungeness crab.
Though I enjoy them steamed/boiled, when roasted in garlic and butter, it takes the crab eating experience to yet another level:

Like our forum's never ending arranger keyboard brand preference debates, the East vs West Coast crab debate may never get settled either, as evidenced below:

Eat and Play what you enjoy. I enjoy it all.

Nick, I'm looking forward to visiting you in Sydney someday, and checking out some of your local region's food specialties. Have a terrific time in Las Vegas and a safe trip back home. Will catch up with you on Skype then.

Later.
