agree Noni Gilbert Riley : I know it does, I was following Sherry´s cangrejo real bit... If we left it at Chilean Crab, the comensales would probably be happy as anything!

Thanks, Noni. We're agreed on that bit! I'm not sure if I've tried the long-legged variety, but apparently it's delicious... mmmmh!
