"Soft shell crabs are shipped and stored on ice or metal trays, often covered with seaweed and damp newspaper to keep them moist.

They are forced to live up to a week out of water. Some die during shipping.

The time in transit and discomfort of the trays concern Whole Foods, Galway says."


The discomfort of the trays. Give me a break

[Old Professer]

That cartoon reminded of the time my dad had caught some frogs and was cutting off their legs to cook; the old yellow family dog was sitting nearby begging and slobbering, so my dad threw one of the frogs legless bodies his way and swoosh, down it went in a single gulp.

I sat there, in my 9-year-old sudden dumbfoundedness while the dog started slinking back and jerking his head from side to side and his stomach started flopping up and down and squirt, out came the squirming frog, his jumping days ended in an ignominious splat as my dad smacked him flat with back side of a shovel.

I don't think I've ever had frog legs since.
