Giant Crabs to take over Europe?

www.telegraph.co.uk.../news/2004/02/28/wcrab28.xml&sSheet=/portal/2004/02/28/ixportal.html

Anybody for watching attack of the Giant Crabs?

"Millions of giant Pacific crabs, whose ancestors were brought to Europe by Joseph Stalin in the 1930s, are marching south along Norway's coast, devouring everything in their path."

Looks like Stalin's Crabs got a little busy over there.

free food!!!! this could be a solution to hunger in a lot of places.... crab legs anyone???

"Served with bread, butter, lemon and mayonnaise, the taste and texture of the crab meat is comparable with that of the finest lobster.
One leg is enough to provide a grown man with a filling meal."

I would be in heaven. I would love to eat giant crabs. They remind me of the Lobstrosities in The Dark Tower series. Dod a chock?

Nice picture... that could feed me for a couple days

jesus - those things are HUGE!

and i thought that maryland crabs were good.....

It's an old commie submarine weapon. These commies are trying ( one more time ) to invade Europe. But that time, not with their antediluvians tanks but with a monstruous red crabs army.

Commies, we will retaliate !!!

Not that big... when i saw "giant" crabs i thought it was those that were as big as cars... but then I don't know what country they come from so it may be impossible for them to be in europe.

Owned!










Although, while finding the lobster pictures I found this monster.:



And this one



Lobster is great , but it's very rich and easy to burn out on. Crab on the other hand I could eat all day, and goes great with Beer. Nothing like crablegs and beer.
I prefer crab to lobster, but shrimp is my favorite.
Look at this bad boy



With seafood, bigger does not always mean better. The bigger the shrimp the more they seem to loose their taste. I prefer Snow crab to King crab. I guess its more personal prefrence than anything else.

owned

Wow, that is one hell of a big shrimp!
I prefer shrimp to crab and lobster as well, and mussels come before them as well!

The monster crabs, which can weigh up to 25lb and have a claw-span of more than three feet, are proving so resilient that scientists fear they could end up as far south as Gibraltar.

I sense a Crabfest coming to the local Red Lobster...

*readies his sledgehammer, fork, and bucket of drawn butter...*

Add some seasonings... BAM
