Crab isn't as hard to keep fresh in the desert because you can ship it live. When you take into account WHERE Tucson is (and phx), Joe's is an acceptable compromise.I remember visiting family in Tuscon years ago and seeing a Joe's Crab Shack and I was just like...

Interesting. Don't people generally categorize freshwater fish and crustaceans as "sea food?"I would consider that big game. Gators can be found in oceans but their primary range is fresh/brackish water. Same with crocs.

They sell more than just crab though. Although, I do remember reading about a very cool place in Arizona. A man-made ocean that you can dive in stocked with marine fish. I read about it in Coral Magazine, I think. I'm drawing a blank on the details though.Crab isn't as hard to keep fresh in the desert because you can ship it live.
