Learning about crab shells

One holiday weekend I got a really great deal on chilled Dungeness crab — $2.99 per pound. I brought it home, cleaned it, and the wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Following dinner, I sent the shells down the disposal. While running the dishwasher not too much later, my wife reported the sink was filling with water. Sure enough, the crab had clogged the drain. After a $195 plumbing bill and a tutorial from the plumber, I learned not to send crab shells down the disposal. That was the most expensive crab we ever ate.
