Nookster ... West Coast people will have a hard time finding fried crab on the menu in most restaurants, unless its specialty is serving up seafood. Just know CyberSEO is correct in mentioning fried crab, as it's extremely popular along / near the Gulf of Mexico states like Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida and Mississippi. What's used is the smaller soft shell crab.
