I had a rotten plateau de fruits de mer recently - the crab had been in a fridge for godness knows how long, and the flavour was disagreeable. Fresh or not at all seems to be a good maxim. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Fat_Ladies for info on the dynamic duo.

Before the USSR went under it was very common ( and cheap) here. The irony was in 1989 that you couldn't get a decent meal in Prague, but you could seek comfort in real Russian vodka and cavair! I love crab :-) is it true that the "dead men's fingers" are poisonous? They are the spongy bit. Caviar also has a dark side! Before the USSR went under it was very common ( and cheap) here.
