Exactly- that's why I enjoyed my one experience and don't plan on doing it again. My wife and I were on a baseball road trip with a friend and we met a friend of his in Annapolis. We went to a little shack and got X lbs of crab. Then we went back to his place, took some newspaper and a roll of paper towels and spread them out on the lawn furniture. Then he taught us how to eat them and we did until we were full and messy and it was fun. But, in retrospect, it was a mess and a pain and it was the atmosphere and company kept not the activity that was fun.
