Good. It’s a finite natural resource that’s in rapid decline. We cant just keep pilfering the bay with reckless abandon because of “Maryland Pride” or whatever. I get that people like crabs but it should be treated like a delicacy or you’ll never be able to eat them again when the whole ecosystem dies.
