The only way crab wins is if a hot chick in a bikini is taking the meat out for me and feeding it to be. Otherwise, Lobster > ALL

I dunno... Queen crab is easier to crack and tastes slightly sweeter and is less expensive than king. Dungeness crab is might fine eatings. I haven't had Mexican shrimp that I know of, but I haven't had any better than the Madagascar prawns that are responsibly farmed.

I saw the Mayne...

Answer is, it depends. Are we talking about little 5oz lobster tails? Are we talking about really small crab legs? Jumbo? Colossal? Extra Colossal?

gargantuan prawns (4-6oz each prawns) stuffed with crab meat > Extra Colossal King Crab > 16oz lobster tail > work for your food > tiny little fried shrimp covered with so much batter that batter is more than 50% of the volume of food and 90% of the calories.

King crab is a little overrated. I like the Alaskan snow crabs better. Though for me the king of seafood will always be dungeness crab. Maine lobser is nice, but dungeness is my #1 choice.

Of course the thing I love the most, Tiger Prawns, has to be environmentally devastating. God damn they are the best though. I prefer them over any of the above.
