Probably not in the area you're looking for, but have you tried Fantasy Eatery by Midland and Finch? They have a ton of ways of making crab.. not sure if the ones you specified are available, but maybe worth a try. :)

No restaurant serves big jop crab, cuz it's ban from import into Canada. Unless you can find some one underground.

i dont think either are available outside asia...and i dont know what "big 'jop' crab" is....but the yellow oil crab -- while it is a delicacy....doesn't it imply the crab is super super ill?
the method of making them unaturally is cruel as well imo

Big "jop" crab is 大閘蟹
They are in season during October. I think I've seen frozen ones at T&T during October. As someone else said, they're considered pests here, so I doubt you'll find live ones here.

The article above indicates that San Francisco Bay is a good place to find live ones. :cheesygri

little off topic - I would like to have "pee pee" shrimps (for lack of better words)... but cannot find them in NA.
