Speaking of crabs, I recently watched an episode of Bobby
Chinn's World Cafe Asia where he went to KL, and Malaysia's famous
chef, Chef Wan, was there to demonstrate a crab recipe. The
way he killed the crab was brutal!!
The poor thing was still alive when he
chopped off all its legs, and then without humanely killing it
first, he pried off its shell! The poor crab was struggling
with what remained of its limbs!! It was so disturbing!
He then chopped the entire body into bits without bothering to kill
it first!!

uhh.. the guy is then a hack..
if he does that, the texture of the crab meat is gone..
what you need to do is to kill it instantly..
you do that by stabbing it right down the centre with a hugeass
knife (forget about the chopsticks.. it's too small to kill the
crab outright) or you rip the shell off and chop the crab into two
down the middle with a cleaver..
