      For a long time; crab, lobster, crayfish were seen by the upper class as bugs of the sea and were very inexpensive. It’s only relatively recently did they become hella expensive. My 8th birthday party, I remember getting a pound of snow crab legs (including sides) for $6.99 at a nice seafood restaurant. I was born in the 90s, so it wasn’t that long ago!
