Would You Eat This Giant Crab?

December 18, 2008

This colossal red king crab was being sold this week at a Welsh market for £75 ($113). The unusually large crustacean measured 3-x-1 feet and was caught by Norwegian fishermen. While its meat is being described as naturally sweet, the crab also looks strikingly like a spider. Could you stomach it?

Yummy...man, break out the butter and lemon, please!! I'd want someone else to crack it for me, because I really don't think I could--since it's ginormous!

I don't eat seafood, so no. I don't know much about crabs, but I'm pretty sure there's nothing freaky about that one; it just didn't get caught earlier in its life, so it had lots of time to grow.

Looks delicioso to me!

There is absolutely NO WAY I wouldn't eat it! We had king crab for my birthday. It's funny I used to not be into crab...so much work for so little pay (as far as the smaller crabs are concerned). But king crab definitely takes care of that!

Absolutely! I love seafood! The reason why it's big, it's because the crab is old...

I'm a vegetarian, so no. But when I wasn't a vegetarian, crabs were my favorite..

I'd eat that in a second! That would taste AWESOME! It doesn't look any different than any other crab...just bigger and probably yummier.

I'm getting hungry just looking at that!! I wonder if the meat might be tough though.

mochick yup, crabs and spiders come from the same evolutionary group. But no thanks to a shellfish allergy I would not eat that.

Yes! :drool: I see crabs like these every time I go to my local fish market.

Aww, I think crabs are so cute. That one is so abnormal and huge, I'd feel bad wasting it for food. Let it prosper where it belongs. That being said, I do like to eat normal-sized crabs.
