How long before Discovery Channel turns it into a reality show about the crab boats that catch them or turn it into a scientific farce about alien crabs from Space?
This one apparently escaped from Talibunny’s pubies during a summer swim last year to celebrate the release of her last book.
@ManchuCandidate: I would totally watch that show – my TIVO has a couple Deadliest Catch shows waiting for me.

@blogenfreude:

My mom once cooked an entire Alaskan King Crab. The legs tasted great. The body? Even my dad (who loved Uni (aka Sea Urchin) and Sea Cucumber) couldn’t stand it.
@ManchuCandidate: Now that I think of it you’re right – best MD crabs I’ve had have been little ones. Maybe the giants can be repurposed into croquettes?
That’s a lot of Scabene®.
@FlyingChainSaw: Darn you! ;-)
