Anyone know where I can buy some in the South Bay area? Thanks.

Come to think of it I don't think I've ever seen them sold live out here on the west coast.

Wed May 28 16:33:32 -0700 2008 3728740 11914 monku 4 3730854 that depends. ostensibly, they are alive but deep-chilled. however, they seem to offer little resistance when i snip off their faces. they do taste very fresh, though.

They'll clean them for you if you want but it is fun and easy to do yourself. Thu May 29 20:03:11 -0700 2008 3728635 15303 petitchou
