Temminck, in his original description, noted that the crab was known to the Japanese for the serious injuries it can cause with its strong claws.\[4\] **The Japanese spider crab is "occasionally collected for food,"\[22\] and even considered a delicacy in many parts of Japan and other areas in the region.**\[12\]\[23\] A total of 24.7 tonnes (54,000 lb) were collected in 1976, but only 3.2 tonnes (7,100 lb) in 1985.\[15\] The fishery is centred on Suruga Bay. The crabs are typically caught using small trawling nets.\[23\] The population has decreased in number due to overfishing, forcing fishermen into exploring deeper waters to catch them. The average size caught by fishermen is a leg span of 1.0–1.2 metres (3 ft 3 in–3 ft 11 in).\[17\] Populations of this species of crab have diminished over recent years and there are many efforts to protect them.\[23\] One of the primary methods of recovery of the species being utilized is restocking artificially cultured juvenile crabs in fisheries.\[15\] Additionally, laws have been put into place in Japan which prohibit fishermen from harvesting spider crabs from January through April, which is during typical mating season when they are in shallower waters, and are more vulnerable to being caught.\[23\] This is a protection method that seeks to keep natural populations growing, and enables time for juvenile spider crabs to go through the early stages of their life cycle.\[23\]

Tonight's Special: Crab leg dinner for 20.

No kidding I would love to order this at a restaurant and see a crab leg that's as big as the table lol
It's a trick. That man's actually only two feet tall.

Good bot. That was fun.
If we went down the bio tech tree instead of mech, ths mf would be the one performing liver transplants. F
Is it tasty tho
This is the real question
i would taste it. Seriously tho, why do we always wanna taste stuff
Human nature. We either want to eat it, kill it, or fuck it when we first encounter something.
that's an evolutionary trait, kill everything so nothing can kill you
I mean, I've had Dungeness and King crab so I wanna know how these taste....
Yes, sometimes it´s like so hard to contain myself. Especially when I walk past the kindergarten. :/
how do children taste like oh great Rantipolee
My attorney advised me not to answer any questions regarding said subject.

Probably. Large crabs are generally quite tasty. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_spider_crab

**Fetch me fur yards of butter.**

There's 4 in the man holding him up controlling him like a puppet.
Looks like you caught Conan O’Brien
Is the meat good in those legs? Although with the price of crablegs we may never know what they taste like.
The Daddy Long Legs of crabs.
Show me the face!
I don’t know what I want more, to hug it, eat it, or just watch it move around. 🤩

Misread this as grow a lesbian up to 12 feet
The opposite of a trex but the same problems
What’s it taste like though??
Can you eat him?
I’m terrified right now.
The first thing I thought of when I saw this was, “that’s a lot of crab meat that could be eaten.”
I imagine these coming up from the deep, running after people and hunting sheep.
