Answer 1

Crabs are territorial assholes who will kill each other. The ones in the tanks at restaurants have their claws wrapped so they can’t kill each other, but they also can’t eat with their claws wrapped. There wouldn’t be a good way to feed crabs at scale on a crab farm like you could a fish.
