Getting Crabical.

The Chinese teach their young at an early age how to pick apart a crab.  My reasoning is this:
1.  It keeps them entertained.
2.  It's a pain in the butt to have to do it for anyone else and not reap the reward.

I bought some crab the other day, four to be exact, and thought it would be a brilliant idea to pick them to make a crab salad of some sort.

After the first crab, I was already regretting it.  Luckily, I'm Chinese (WTSM) and all complaining aside, I was able to finish with sea otter-like efficiency.

This is what I got:

… enough to make about 1/2 of a decent crab cake.

Then I thought, it sucks to be a sea otter… don't they know you can just buy this stuff in a container in the grocery store??

Oh... right...
