They must have eaten the spanner crab (curacha in Zamboanga) cooked after having been dead for an hour or more. It must be cooked live for the meat to retain its good taste and should not be frozen for more than a week after it is cooked. I brought cooked frozen spanner crab to the USA from Zamboanga and I noticed the difference in taste. I still have 5 pcs in the freezer. Spanner crab meat tastes very much like the blue crab, better than King crab and Dungeness crab The spanner crab which is the legendary "curacha" of Zamboanga has always intrigued me because of the claims that it is only found in the ocean around the Zamboanga peninsula. Not so, it is found in Hawaii, in South Africa, Indonesia, Australia which exports tons of the crab, and of course in the Philippines from as far north as Batanes to as far south as Tawi-tawi. However, nobody seems to have found it in the Visayas, perhaps not because they are not there but because the Visayans have not discovered it yet.
