Crab
Curious. Why, when there is a lot of lobster, gambas, crayfish etc for sale there is a distinct lack of fresh crab. Yes, i've seen it in Eroski but its not exactly common. I would have thought it was no more a cold water crustacean than lobster, for example.

Re: Crab
Gave up with the crabs from Eroski. Invariably when you remove the shell rather than being packed with paste they are almost empty.

Re: Crab
Spain is one of the largest importers of crab, there was a crab and seafood Importer in Marbella he used to play at our golf course. Spain was (is) the fourth largest importer of fish in the world.
Selsey crab is sold fresh in the next village. Never bought it but have had some good meals at crabshacks in Selsey
Never used to see it on Spanish menus very frequently. Having seen crabs murdered in a UK food market I would never want to buy a live one. Stopped eating them for years, likewise Lobster. Bit hypocritical I know. Similar with those restaurant fish tanks. Aside from them being overcrowded Most look grubby and unhygienic.
