I just googled crab shortage.
I have been to three supermarkets looking for tinned crab and no-one has any. Have all the crabs died? It's an integral part of one of my favorite recipes and I can't get any fucking crab.

I DEMAND ANSWERS!

Surely if all the crabs had died
Then there would be lots of crab to eat?

Then where are they?
And why aren't they in tins sitting on the supermarket shelves?

It was the seventies.

It was chaos
Some agressive teacher 'giving it all that' *makes crab claws out of hands*

And trying to fuck someside sideways isn't as easy as you'd imagine.

I would imagine it's fun to try though.

Fresh crab is too expensive.

I realise that was a question, not an answer.

Watch 'Deadliest Catch'

My favourite show of the moment is Pawn Stars
It's like the Antiques Roadshow meets Cash Converters.

Episodse can be watched on YouTube.

I did a wicked dish with crab a few nights ago, that I think I might do again tonight
1: Start boiling up some pasta
2: Fry up about half a deceeded chilli, some garlic, spring onion and some oil
3: Add about half a glass of white wine and let the alchole cook out a bit, 3 minutes should do it.
4: Add a mix of white and brown crab meat, I ain't had it out a tin before but Marks'n'Sparks do 'dressed crab' that works well. Then add a load of chives and parsley and cream.
5: Let it reduce a little bit.
6: By now the pasta should done, add some chives, mix'n'serve.
7: Serve and enjoy.

You'll get change out of a fiver for a really good meal, easy to cook for eaither just one or sevrel people.

The parsley needs to be cut fine because the texture isn't that nice in this one.
