These crabs are being sold in a small morning market off the beaten path in Zihuatanejo, a beautiful town on Mexico's Pacific coast. Just up the road is tourist mecca Ixtapa -- if you stay in Ixtapa, be sure to hit Zihuatanejo (and take the bus twenty minutes south to La Barra de Potosi for a margarita, too).
