How would you like to be on an island and come across a crab that is more than 3 feet from head to tail and weighs up to 40 pounds, and is known for its ability to crack coconuts with its strong pincers in order to eat the contents.

I remember being 5 or 6 years old and accidentally killing a horseshoe crab. For some reason I was running with it and it fell. I still feel really bad when I think about it.

Well it's personal taste... I can't stand the flavour of any crustacean (I'm also allergic to shellfish, last I checked). My tastes are odd in a lot of ways, though (I like sardine and garlic butter sandwiches, green olives on my pizza, Canada-flavour doughnuts (seriously, Tim Hortons used to have those!)...)
