for the very first time in my life.
I'd joined a couple of colleagues for a farewell dinner for one of
them. The place was for bbq steamboat. They had free prawns and crabs.
So far so good right? Prawns were okay to cook of course... But the
crabs... The handler plucked a few live crabs from a box, whipped out
his chopper, positioned it across the underside and chopped the
crustacean in half! The animal was still moving after that!
That's just the beginning mind you. After that, they passed the half
animals to us and instructed us to wash them ourselves. What the heck?
That's right ladies and gentlemen. For the first time in my life, I'm
here washing a crab still much alive, staring at me as i clean its
innards and removing its lungs because that's the yucky dirty part.
All that while trying to avoid getting grabbed by the pincers. I tried
to be brave about it, though it was quite a torturous ordeal. Not
really gonna recommend the place to anyone...
