Once while in Cozumel at a local restaurant - El Captain or something like that - I had a FABULOUS MEAL made from 1/2 of one of these. The legs were so large they had hair on the ends, like our larger spiny lobster we get in FL.
Fast forward to last year, got a hold of one while snorkeling in the Keys and our friend's Cuban girlfriend looked at us like we had two heads. She eats lobster, stone crab, but wouldn't even touch it! So....I was wondering how many people had either eaten one or would try one. Round circular carapace and 8 long legs. I think it might have had small claws on front two legs, but am not entirely sure.
