World's Largest King Crab?


article-1095345-02D1EDBE000005DC-423_468x315.jpg

Certainly the largest we have ever seen...

This impressive crustacean is currently holding court at a Welsh market, with a price tag of 75 pounds.

Weighing in at 3kg (that's over 6 pounds to Yanks), the Norwegian Red King Crab measures a staggering 3 feet by 1 foot.

On average, Norwegian red king crabs weigh 4.3kg and are viewed as one of the most outstanding and impressive of the species to serve in restaurants.

    4.3 kilos? I think you need to look at the Tasmanian King Crab because that thing can weigh up to 35 pounds or more.

    The largest paralithodes C. (red king crab as seen in this photo) was caught in Kodiak Alaska in 1963 which weighed almost 27 pounds.
