Still Waters Posted May 1, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 1, 2012 He was destined for the pot – if they had found one big enough to fit.But Claude the Tasmanian giant crab was saved from death when the fisherman who caught him sold him to a British aquarium for £3,000. Now, after a 29-hour plane journey from Australia – where giant crab meat is a delicacy – and two weeks in quarantine, Claude is ready to meet his public http://www.dailymail...um-display.html .

pallidin Posted May 2, 2012 #12 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Dang, that's one big crab. I read in the article that the Japanese spider crab is even larger. In any event impressive pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they meant, he could've produced 20lbs. worth of a dinner when you add in all the side dishes. mashed potato, bread sticks, cake and whatever else people eat with crab dinners (never having had a crab dinner myself).
