United StatesI bought this as a gift for a very dear friend. She loves puzzles & she loves crabs. How could I lose? She also never, ever learned how to properly pick a crab. Misuse of a mallet was her go-to. *gasp* Now she'll learn, have fun, AND have a beautiful crustacean to display in her new Florida home!
