Anyone ever eaten/cooked these? I'm always down for what seems like an easy catch/eat situation. I've heard of them being fried tempura style, or fried and dusted with Old Bay, etc. Apparently, they should be seasoned similar to other shellfish.

The crunch factor seems intriguing, although some find it off putting. Anyone had these?

I mean, you could. But what if I want the popcorn of the sea? Crispy Crab Crackers? Poor man's crab? Crabby Crunchies?
