the Asian crabs likely hitchhiked to the area on ships traveling between Asia and the East Coast.
I didn't know crabs had thumbs.

Have the ships shampoo with Kwell twice. Rinse, repeat.

Asian Crabs WBAGNFARB. Or a bodily infestation.

When I was in Vietnam, we went to the "Pro" station and "Viola", no Asian Crabs.

I'm picturing gangs of Asian crabs stowing away in the bowels (tee hee) of a Korean freighter, playing dominoes, smoking cigarettes they (carefully) rolled themselves, just plotting the overthrow of the "Eastern American Crab Menace"...
...I really ought to get back to work now...

Cook one! Let's see if they're as good as ours before we consider getting rid of them.

Who's Viola? Glad she's so rigorous about her hygiene.

So, do these crabs display lice-entious behavior?

Deepest apologies Aladdin (sung to Whole New World):
I can show you the East Coast
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, crab-ess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eye stalks
Take you barnacle by barnacle
Over, sideways and under
On a hitched boat ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way over here
It's crystal clear
That green crabs are inferior
And now all your East Coast are belong to us
***I know, I know, not very good, but I had some giggles writing it. And after all, as long as I am amused, who cares about the rest of you?

meet you there with some lovely drawn butter.

Made me laugh, Casey.

I smell a follow-up to Locusts! Qick, someone call Xena!

Nam, Ig?
Welcome home. (In case I din't mention that already.)
So, if the green crabs are threatened by these Asians, I'm wondering what color they are when they're ripe?

I hope they all have their towels.
